Game Preview

The Houston Rockets have been on fire over the last few days, winning four games in a row and having 5-1 SU in the previous six events. But what is even more impressive is that the Rockets won 10 of the latest 11 road games.

Ime Udoka’s crew beat the Atlanta Hawks in Georgia this Tuesday night, 100-96. They once again demonstrated hard defense when needed the most, though we need to say that the Hawks threatened in the late fourth quarter.

Memphis Grizzlies and Ja are the top offense in the NBA, delivering 123.3 points per game. But against the New York Knicks, we haven’t seen a shred of their offensive talent. The guests from the Big Apple demolished the hosts 143-106, inflicting them one of the worst defeats at the FedEx Forum in a long time. It snapped Memphis’ six-game victorious streak.

Morant had only 10 points, while the Grizzlies’ top scorer was Jaren Jackson Jr. with 21 buckets. Memphis allowed 17 three-pointers.

Rockets vs. Grizzlies Head to Head

There were three clashes between the Rockets and the Grizzlies this year. The result in the series is 3-0 for the franchise from Houston.

Rockets vs. Grizzlies Prediction

Houston leads 3-0 in the series, though the previous two events saw them beat the Grizzlies narrowly. Given that they had to travel, the Grizzlies haven’t, and Memphis comes into this one with a high sense of urgency, we pick the home team to win.
