After winning Rookie of The Year last season, Ja Morant is off to bigger things in his second season with the Grizzlies. The 21-year-old speedster did not have his best performance against the Warriors and actually struggled shooting the ball, going just 5-for-20 from the field for 14 points in 35 minutes. However, he impacted the game on other aspects, particularly his playmaking by dishing out eight dimes and his stellar defense.

He did a fine job setting the table for his teammates, particularly Jonas Valunciunas and Dillon Brooks who each had 19 points apiece. Draymond Green, on the other hand, finished with seven points, eight boards, and three assists for the Warriors after figuring in an injury scare earlier in the contest.
