The two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces have lost back-to-back games. They are just 5-4 to start the season, despite being favored in all nine games.
Memphis is the league's highest-scoring team and hosts one of the league's worst defensive teams. New Orleans has battled injuries most of the season and will be without Zion Williamson.
Portland has won three straight games and is a road favorite while playing on back-to-back nights. Meanwhile, Charlotte's LaMelo Ball is questionable with a wrist injury.
Both teams are short-handed in this rematch of Christmas Day, when Minnesota won on the road. Donte DiVincenzo is out for the Wolves, while Dereck Lively is out for Dallas.
