The Memphis Grizzlies will head over to Texas to face the Houston Rockets on Monday night. After back-to-back losses against the Utah Jazz, this will serve as a good bounce-back opportunity for the Grizzlies before they face the same menacing Jazz team at home.
The Rockets are currently on a 1-game winning streak. That ties their longest winning streak since the month of January. No, that’s not a joke, the Rockets have only won three of their last 26 games.
Unfortunately, one of these wins came against the Grizzlies. That said, the Rockets actually held a winning record at that point in the year. The Rockets in March are a much worse team than they were a couple of months prior.
The Memphis Grizzlies have already asserted their dominance over the Houston Rockets
Fast forward to late February and the Grizzlies completely dismantled this Rockets team, sending them home with their tails between their legs. The win would be the largest margin of victory in Memphis Grizzlies franchise history.
The Grizz would also set a new record for bench points in that game, among other records. In all likelihood, we’ll be watching another blowout game. It’ll be a fun one to tune into as a Grizzlies fan.
That said, this team will still have to play a basketball game on Monday night. This is still an NBA team that has shown that it is capable of winning in recent games.
