The Memphis Grizzlies will welcome the Houston Rockets for a battle involving two of the top three teams in the NBA’s Western Conference. Read on for our prediction for this mouthwatering match.

The Grizzlies are seeking to avoid a sweep in this series. They have already lost the war as Houston has won the first three meetings of the season.

Taylor Jenkins’ men have compiled a 31-16 record and sit third in the West, 1.5 games behind second-placed Houston. They have compiled one of the best home records, winning 19 times against their last 24 visitors.

The Grizzlies saw a six-match winning run snapped last time out by a dominant Knicks team that blew them out 143-106.

The Rockets are coming into this match, having won four in a row. In this stretch, they defeated the Celtics, Hawks and the Cavaliers twice.

Ime Udoka’s men have been the surprise package this season and look destined for a return to the playoffs. Houston defeated the Hawks 100-96 in the third game of their scheduled four-match road trip. 

This was their 32nd victory of the season and kept them within 5.5 games of conference leaders OKC. The Rockets have compiled one of the best away records this season and have won 17 of their 24 such fixtures.
