4. Los Angeles Clippers (Nov. 4)

The Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Clippers will square off for their first of four encounters on Nov. 4.

Every time they face off, there are glimpses of a WWE match between Zach Randolph and Blake Griffin.

These two teams should be battling for the third seed out West. Both teams, when healthy, are two of the top teams (behind Golden State and San Antonio) in the Western Conference.

Their starting lineups have exciting matchups, for the most part. Mike Conley and Chris Paul are two of the best floor generals in the game. Tony Allen, one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, will face off against J.J. Redick, one of the best shooters.

Zach Randolph and Blake Griffin should continue their bitter rivalry. Marc Gasol’s finesse, fundamentally-sound game will combat with DeAndre Jordan‘s athleticism.

What to watch for? The small forward position. Los Angeles’ weakest link is at the small forward position, Luc Mbah a Moute. Memphis upgraded from Matt Barnes to Chandler Parsons.

A big game from Parsons along with solid performances from the rest of the starting five will almost ensure a win for the Memphis Grizzlies.
