Memphis has a tough December schedule, 10 of their 14 games are against teams who made the playoffs last year. The most shocking stretch of games is the one listed above. Just after facing the 2021 NBA Champions, they will then go on a 4 game road trip against some of the toughest teams in the league, including a Christmas day game against Golden State.

Memphis Grizzlies January 2023 prediction: 10-5 (34-16 Overall)

  • Jan. 22 at Phoenix  –  Loss

January will prove to be a pivotal part of Memphis’ season. The Grizzlies have a five-game road trip (as listed above) against some strong opponents. This will be an exhausting stretch of games for a Memphis team that could potentially not have Jaren Jackson Jr. back quite yet. Memphis will need to stay strong and rely on each other to make it through a tough month.
