Riding a four-game win streak, the Memphis Grizzlies head into a matchup on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans, who have also won four straight. Even with their active win streak, the Pelicans are just 12-32 on the season, mainly due to getting hit with a massive injury bug.

Zion Williamson has been ruled out for Friday night's Pelicans-Grizzlies game "due to return to play reconditioning from illness."

This season, Zion is averaging 21.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, as he continues to be one of the NBA’s best paint scorers. The Pelicans hope that he can keep this up and stay healthy as he is an integral part of their future.
