NEW ORLEANS (AP) — JaMychal Green scored 24 points in a reserve role, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the New Orleans Pelicans 107-103 on Friday night.

For most of the Grizzlies’ time in Memphis, the arrival of LeBron James has been an event. For all of the Grizzlies’ time in Memphis -- the old heads can still hear “Beat L.A.” reverberating around the Pyramid -- the arrival of the Los Angeles Lakers has been an event.

Memphis: 107, New Orleans: 103

Marc Gasol had his worst game of the season. Jaren Jackson Jr. fouled out in 21 minutes. The Grizzlies had more missed free throws (nine) than made three-pointers (seven). And they still notched a double-digit win against what is so far one of the West’s best teams.

Mike Conley scored 22 points, JaMychal Green had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and the Memphis Grizzlies held the Los Angeles Clippers to a season scoring low in a 96-86 victory Wednesday night.

The Grizzlies took to the practice court on Tuesday afternoon with two former Defensive Players of the Year (Marc Gasol, Joakim Noah) and what they hope is a future one (Jaren Jackson Jr.).

As expected, the Memphis Grizzlies officially announced Tuesday the signing of veteran center Joakim Noah for the remainder of the season.

The Grizzlies got a split on a two-game East Coast trip, but rookie Jaren Jackson Jr. had a weekend.

The Grizzlies left their late-game magic somewhere on the New Jersey Turnpike.

Mike Conley brought the Grizzlies home in Brooklyn to end a three-game losing streak, but it was rookie Jaren Jackson Jr., with a career-high 36 points and a breathtaking fourth-quarter flurry, who kept hope alive.

Lead Grizzlies writer Chris Herrington is joined by Grind City Media and The Ringer’s Chris Vernon to talk about the Grizzlies’ recent three-game losing streak amid a better-than-expected start, the early returns on rookie Jaren Jackson Jr., the crowded Western Conference playoff race, and more.

After a lengthy courtship, the Grizzlies appear on the verge of tying the knot with free agent center Joakim Noah.

After taking Thanksgiving off, it’s time for a return of the Grizzlies Mailbag, where we’re updating predictions after 20 games and already gazing ahead to the All-Star game and the trade deadline.

Ten games, 20 games? Arbitrary designations over the course of an 82-game season. But the Grizzlies are six games into a more tangible turning point: the return of JaMychal Green.

Tuesday night at FedExForum felt a whole lot like Sunday afternoon. Once again, the Grizzlies built a game-high double-digit lead early in the third quarter and lost (nearly) all of it before the quarter was over.

Toronto: 122, Memphis: 114

Kyle Lowry had 24 points and six assists, Fred VanVleet added 18 points and Toronto used a 3-point shooting burst in the fourth quarter to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 122-114 on Tuesday night.

For most NBA teams, individual game outcomes shouldn’t be surprising, and despite their unexpected appearance atop the Western Conference standings a few days ago, the Grizzlies are one of those teams.

N.Y. Knicks: 103, Memphis: 98

The Grizzlies took a second straight loss and in both cases they needed Mike Conley a little too much.

Enes Kanter had a career-high 26 rebounds and scored 21 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. finished with 22 points and the New York Knicks overcame a poor shooting first half to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 103-98 on Sunday night.

One of the keys to the Grizzlies’ surprising start to the season is that Mike Conley and Marc Gasol have played every game so far. But the Grizzlies got a reminder on Friday afternoon in Los Angeles of what playing without Conley is like, and it wasn’t pretty.
