Follow along with the NBA.com live blog, bringing you the best of a 12-game Wednesday highlighted by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's Thunder hosting Luka Dončić's Lakers.

Lakers center DeAndre Ayton admitted confusion about NBA Cup point-differential rules after being urged to score late in a blowout win over the Pelicans.

Against a team like the Houston Rockets, that won't be enough. The Grizzlies fell behind early and lost 124-109 at FedExForum. Morant finished with 17 points on 6-for-19 shooting. Jackson scored nine points on 2-for-6 shooting. Cam Spencer led the Grizzlies (3-6) with 19 points.

The Pacers have also lost forward Obi Toppin to a broken right foot, guard T.J. McConnell with a hamstring injury, guard Kam Jones to a back injury, guard Bennedict Mathurin with a toe injury and guard Andrew Nembhard with a shoulder injury.
