There are eight NBA games on the schedule for Sunday, with the Memphis Grizzlies visiting the Toronto Raptors at the Scotiabank Arena. The Grizzlies are embroiled in another Ja Morant issue, while the Raptors are just looking to give fans something to cheer for after the Blue Jays lost the World Series.Memphis suspended Morant for one game, so he's going to miss the game against the Raptors. The All-Star guard's comments after their loss to the LA Lakers on Friday were deemed detrimental to the team. Morant was not happy with how coach Tuomas Iisalo has been using him this season. On the other hand, the Raptors are navigating an exciting season and are coming off a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team has some good pieces that could make some noise in a wide-open Eastern Conference. Brandon Ingram has looked good in Toronto, playing in his first full season there.
