Memphis finally looks like it has found something. The Grizzlies have won three straight and five of six, and four of those victories have come on the road. The latest was a 115-107 win in Sacramento where rookie center Zach Edey put together the best game of his young career with 32 points on 16-for-20 shooting and 17 rebounds. He completely controlled the glass down the stretch, scoring all six points in a late lead-changing run and choking off second-chance opportunities. Memphis is still doing all of this without Ja Morant and with almost no healthy point guards, but Tuomas Iisalo has the group buying into a straightforward identity: defend, rebound, and grind out enough half-court offense to win ugly.

Oklahoma City comes into San Francisco with real history on the table. At 20-1, the Thunder own the second-best start in NBA history, trailing only the 2015-16 Warriors’ 24-0 run and joining the 1969-70 Knicks and 1993-94 Rockets as the only other teams to open 20-1 or better, both of whom went on to win the title.

CJ McCollum has carried the load offensively, dropping 46 on the Hawks and then burying a contested, go-ahead three in the final seconds of a 129-126 win over the Bucks. Even in that Milwaukee game, the Wizards had to grind late, leaning on defense and Bilal Coulibaly’s on-ball work to close it. The Philadelphia 76ers, sitting at 10-9, come in off a 142-134 double-overtime loss to the Hawks. They erased an eight-point deficit in

Fresh off a championship sweep through the Maui Invitational, the No. 24 USC Trojans return to the mainland on Tuesday night for their Big Ten opener against the Oregon Ducks at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene.
