Although it is usually a highlight of Lakers-Grizzlies meetings, the Gasol Brothers will not face off tonight when Pau's Lakers host Marc's Grizzlies. Pau will miss tonight's game as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury, although by all accounts it seems to be completely healed. As with Allen Iverson's situation, though, with a hamstring you can never be too careful. Last season, Pau held a slight edge over his younger brother, averaging 16 ppg in the teams' four matchups, all Laker wins, while Marc averaged 13 ppg. However, Marc outscored Pau in each of the last two meetings, 17-13 and 14-12, respectively.

down plenty of perimeter jumpers and battled the Lakers (22-5) on the boards. Interestingly, Kobe Bryant didn’t really look for his own shot much in the first half, instead opting to try to get his teammates involved. It seemed like the Lakers were either taking it easy on the Grizzlies or almost overlooking them.

in their last two. Those three games were decided by a total of seven points.
As expected, Kobe Bryant leads the Lakers in scoring at 25.8 ppg, but he has a strong supporting cast this season. As a result, the team is off to an historic start and appears destined to make a return trip to the NBA Finals. Pau averages 17.5 ppg, Andrew Bynum averages 12.3 and veteran point guard Derek Fisher averages 11.2. Bynum has been the biggest surprise this season, stepping up to provide a reliable post presence.
