The Warriors got some good news before tonight’s game, as David Lee has been cleared to play and is flying out to Minnesota to meet the team for the final game of the road trip. But he won’t be available tonight, so the team will try once again to get that elusive second victory without their big offseason acquisition. The Warriors won the first meeting between these two, though the Grizzlies were without Zach Randolph and he’s back and expected to play. What to watch for tonight:

• Home Cookin’. Memphis is Monta’s offseason home, and he had the team over for Thanksgiving dinner last night at his “compound.” Monta’s been struggling since banging his hip, and is mired in his worst shooting slump of the season. Here’s hoping a couple nights in his own bed have recharged him a bit.
• Inside, inside, inside. It’s been a broken record since Lee’s been out, but this game will once again hinge on whether the team of Andris, Gadzuric, Adrien, and, yes, Radmanavic can hold off Randolph and Marc Gasol inside.
• Hold the Mayo. Regular Monta trade rumor partner O.J. Mayo has been struggling this year, and he was recently demoted to the bench for the first time in his NBA career. So he’ll be motivated to have a big game, and lord knows the Warriors are a good target for those sorts of attempts. I’ll probably watch the ESPN 2 feed, but for those of you watching CSN I hope you don’t have to hear Fitz ranting about the amazingly poor luck that would cause Mayo to go off against the Warriors of all teams — since defense of course can’t be blamed.
