He'll be back sooner. Once the swelling goes down (he had surgery on Monday), he'll be fitted with a mask. Only thing holding him back would be vision.
As far as matchups go, it's impossible to clamp Curry and Thompson down for 4 games in a row. They'll have their nights, but Mike and Tony Allen will make them work. The Grizzlies have the advantage in the paint with Z-Bo and Gasol, and Courtney Lee has been phenomenal against Portland.
Curry and Thompson won't face a tougher defensive wing unit than this Memphis team. And Marc Gasol has been superb inside. It'll come down to Z-bo like it often does with the Grizzlies. If he shoots it well and Jeff green steps up, I like their chances.
