Your son don’t wanna be here,” Kevin Durant told Tee Morant, father of Grizzlies star Ja Morant. “We know it’s your last weekend. Enjoy your time.”

Perhaps the Memphis Grizzlies will eventually trade Ja Morant this season. And perhaps such a deal will involve the Houston Rockets.

The Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies are in two very different situations despite only being separated by two games in the Western Conference standings. Wh

Kevin Durant used every trick in the book to beat the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. The two-time NBA champion went after Ja Morant's dad, Tee Morant, during his team's 124-109 win over the Grizzlies.

Houston dominated the Memphis Grizzlies 124-109 Wednesday while covering as a 7.5-point favorite as the Over (232.5) hit. The Rockets grabbed 54 rebounds, 36 of them coming from just 3 players, while also having 7 players score in double figures. The Rockets have won 5 straight and have held opponents to under 110 points in 4 of those wins.

Despite a gambling scandal continuing to unfold, there’s no bigger story in the NBA at the moment than Ja Morant’s obvious displeasure with the Memphis Grizzlie

Houston is first in the league in points per 100 possessions. Durant (24.0), Şengün (22.4) and Thompson (18.6) are all over 18 points per game. Şengün (7.3) and Thompson (5.7) are averaging over five assists. Sheppard is still adjusting to life in the NBA, but he's shooting 42.9 percent from deep and averaging 3.0 assists in just 20.0 minutes.

The Rockets list Steven Adams (left hip flexor tightness) and Jabari Smith Jr. (right ankle sprain) as questionable to play in Memphis. Fred VanVleet (ACL recovery), Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle surgery recovery), Isaiah Crawford (G League) and Kevon Harris (G League) are out.
