Assuming you have some sort of obligation where you can't leave on Thursday.
You'd have to leave by at least 6 am to make sure you hit tip-off. Another crazy thing would be the find a night owl to drive the nightshift while you close out early in the morning.
Otherwise,
There is a flight that gets into Memphis at 4:50 where there is a decent chance you can make the game by tip-off
There is another one a bit more expensive where you get there by 2:13
