Toronto Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic is set to face the Memphis Grizzlies, where he previously served as an assistant coach. The Grizzlies, led by star guard Ja Morant, have started the season strong with a 20-10 record despite Morant's injuries and suspension.

Morant, averaging 21.3 points and 7.9 assists, has been pivotal in the team's success, helping them maintain a high-scoring offense. In contrast, the Raptors are struggling significantly, having lost 12 of their first 14 games this season.
