The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 6 and several teams are looking around, scanning the market for ways to upgrade their rosters. That includes the Memphis Grizzlies, who are in one of the most interesting positions.

The Grizzlies (29-15) are entering this matchup winners of four straight. Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. are leading the play, and Luke Kennard is having his best stretch of the season over the past five games. Kennard finished with 23 points and made seven 3-pointers on Wednesday.

Grizzlies star Ja Morant was added to the injury report on Thursday morning ahead of the game against the Houston Rockets (8:30 p.m., TNT). Morant is dealing with right shoulder soreness. He is questionable to play.

New Orleans pulled within six points early in the fourth, but Memphis went on a 15-5 run to grab its largest lead of the game at that point.

Desmond Bane scored 24 points, Luke Kennard added 23 on a season-high seven 3-pointers and the Memphis Grizzlies built an early lead and beat the Charlotte Hornets 132-120 on Wednesday night.

Yuki Kawamura and Armando Bacot are headed to NBA All-Star weekend, getting voted in by the fans for the G League Up Next Game.

Iffy against Houston

Jaylen Wells was not expected to have a major role in the Memphis Grizzlies' rotation this season. Circumstances and his skills have changed all that.

Memphis (28-15) has its own dynamic point guard in Ja Morant and a group of co-stars including Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. Bane has scored 20 or more points in five straight games, and Jackson led the Grizzlies with 24 points and 11 rebounds in Monday's win against the Timberwolves.
