KEY PLAYERS OF BKN VS MEM :
BROOKLYNETS (BKN) :
KYRIE IRVING :
Kyrie Irving opened his 2020-21 campaign with 26 points in an easy win vs. Golden State, making 10-of-16 shots with four 3-pointers, four rebounds and four assists.

Spencer Dinwiddie (right knee strain) will not return to Sunday’s game after getting hurt early in the third quarter.
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES (MEM) :
ZACH RANDOLPH
Zach Randolph quickly became the best player in Grizzlies history. He had the two best season performances by a player wearing a Grizz jersey in his first two campaigns. In 2009-10 and 2010-11, he led the team in scoring average and rebounds per game, putting up 20.8 and 11.7 and then 20.1 and 12.2.
MARC GASOL :
He’s a strong rebounder, great passer, keen shooter and robust defender.
He has a perfect sense of when to dish it to a teammate. That awareness gained him 4.1 assists per game last season.
He earned the Defensive Player of the Year award while allowing 98.5 points per 100 possessions. He’s 10th on the career totem, allowing 103.3 per 100 possessions.
PAU GASOL :
He’s second on the career list in scoring average (18.8) and rebounds per game (8.6) and No. 1 in blocks per game (1.8). He led the team in scoring and rebounding six and five times, respectively. Also, he led the team in blocks five times.
But his metrics, while strong, don’t stack quite as high on the franchise list as those core numbers
