The Memphis Grizzlies open up the 2017-18 season at home Wednesday night hosting the New Orleans Pelicans.  It will be the first time fans will see the Grizzlies during the regular season without the “core four”.  Gone are Zac Randolph and Tony Allen.  Only Mike Conley and Marc Gasol remain with a number of new faces around them. Grit n’ Grind may be replaced by a faster-tempo team, a trend in the NBA.
