The Memphis Grizzlies will look to continue their winning ways as they prepare for two road games against western conference foes.

The Memphis Grizzlies are currently on a four-game winning streak and they’ll look to keep that going in their road games on Wednesday and Friday night.

A lot of Memphis’ success is due to the high level that their stars, Mike Conley and Marc Gasol, are playing at.

During the winning streak, Conley has been averaging 22.8 points per game. Gasol is also averaging 22.8 points but he also is averaging 11.8 rebounds.

Gasol is also playing at an elite level defensively. He has had seven blocks in the past two games. He’s also been one of the best big men in the game with his steals.

Gasol is tied for 13th in the league in steals with 1.7 per game. The Grizzlies have made forcing turnovers a priority and Gasol has bought into that as he has made a huge impact.

Both of the Grizzlies stars are playing at an all-star level. They will never get the credit they deserve but so far this season they have been playing great basketball and the team is winning because of it.

None of the national media expected Memphis to get off to this start but they should be starting to take notice of what is going on.

The Grizzlies head on the road for two games against Western Conference opponents. They will look to control the tempo in both of these games and stay at the top of the standings.
