The upcoming matchup between the Memphis Grizzlies and the New York Knicks is poised to be a significant test for both teams. Each has been performing as a top-three seed in their respective conferences, yet both have faced skepticism over their ability to compete against other elite teams. Fortunately, the Knicks may bolster their lineup with the potential return of center Mitchell Robinson, who has been upgraded to questionable for the game. Robinson's impact on defense could be crucial, considering his last season's averages of 5.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks.

On the other side, the Grizzlies are likely to counter with Zach Edey at center, setting the stage for an intriguing battle in the paint. Both players bring different strengths to the court, and their performance could very well be the difference-maker in this highly anticipated contest. The game is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. EST on Friday, and fans are eager to see how this showdown unfolds.
