Game Preview
Memphis Grizzlies are trying to gain some consistency, as they have subsequent losses and wins in the past week. Though, their previous contest was in Minnesota, where they beat the Timberwolves 127-125. Ja Morant solved this one with a tiebreaker with 18 seconds to go.
Jaren Jackson, the 2023 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, is the team’s top scorer with 22.6 points. Morant is the unit’s leader, though some injuries prevented him from playing for a while.
The Houston Rockets have won the previous three games. They are 7-3 in the past 10 contests, looking good. Their meeting with the Atlanta Hawks has been postponed, so they had an extra day to rest.
The Rockets are the No.3 defense in the league, allowing 107.1 points, and that’s due to their strong physical approach inside the arc. They record 48.8 rebounds per game, which is the most in the NBA.
Grizzlies vs. Rockets Head to Head
There were two games between these units, and the Rockets won both of them. The first was early into the season, 128-108 in Houston, and the second three days ago on January 9, when they triumphed in FedEx Forum, 119-115.
Grizzlies vs. Rockets Prediction
The Grizzlies are still shaky and lack consistency. Houston looks better, more fluid, and stable; plus, it plays at home and is well-rested. That’s why our NBA betting pick here is the Rockets.
