Analysis:

Following Wednesday night's disappointing loss to the Celtics, coach Dave Joerger will give a number of his regulars a night off. Mike Conley (ankle), Tony Allen (rest) and Marc Gasol (rest) will all be unavailable Thursday, meaning the likes of Jon Leuer, Kosta Koufos, Nick Calathes and Beno Udrih figure to see increased time.
