TIP-INS
Grizzlies: There is no timetable for F Chandler Parsons to return, coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. Parsons has missed 30 games because of soreness in his right knee. "He's doing all the things, all the 5-on-5 and stuff, and we've just got to find the right opportunity to get him on the floor," Bickerstaff said. ... F Omri Casspi (illness) and F Joakim Noah (heel) each missed his third straight game.
Lakers: Zubac had 16 points on 8-of-10 shooting in the first half. ... C Tyson Chandler did not play because of back spasms. ... C JaVale McGee missed his fourth straight game. Los Angeles coach Luke Walton said McGee had recovered from flu-like symptoms but would need more time to get his stamina back to the point where he could play.

Lakers: At Golden State on Tuesday.
