 When: 7 p.m. | Where: Verizon Center | TV/radio: CSN, ESPN 980 Probable starters: Grizzlies - F Rudy Gay, F Darrell Arthur, C Marc Gasol, G Mike Conley, G O.J. Mayo. Wizards - F Dominic McGuire, F Antawn Jamison, C Darius Songaila, G Caron Butler, G Mike James. Injuries: Grizzlies: Out - F/C Darko Milicic (broken knuckle). Wizards - Out: C Andray Blatche (knee), C Brendan Haywood (wrist), C Etan Thomas (knee), G Gilbert Arenas (knee). Outlook: The Wizards face another beatable opponent in the 11-35 Grizzlies, who have the youngest starting five in the league with one third-year player (Gay), one second-year player (Conley) and three rookies. It's the first meeting of the season between the teams. Washington and Memphis split two games last season, with the home team winning each matchup. The Grizzlies are coming off a 115-98 loss to the Lakers. The Wizards kicked off a five-game homestand Saturday with a win over the Clippers and hope to use the momentum to record consecutive victories for only the second time this season.- Mike Jones
