The in-form Memphis Grizzlies welcome the inconsistent LA Clippers in their next match in the NBA. Memphis is second in the Western Conference and has a four-game advantage over its eighth-place visitors. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Grizzlies have won 20 of their 29 matches and are the second team in the West to win as many games. They sit three matches adrift of conference leaders OKC and are ranked fourth in the entire NBA.

Taylor Jenkins’ men have won six of their last seven games, most of which have been blowout successes. Memphis, who possess the best offensive rating, demolished the Hawks 128-112 away from home in their last fixture.

While the Grizzlies are riding high, the Clippers have struggled with inconsistency. Ty Lue’s men, who are just three games above .500, are coming off a 113-97 away loss to the Mavericks.

Their 13th loss of the season was also their fourth setback in their last six outings. LA however do have a strong recent record when up against the Grizzlies and will be hopeful of bouncing back here.

The Clippers have won the last three matchups with the Grizzlies. Terrance Mann is out for this trip while Kawhi Leonard and PJ Tucker are still long-term absentees.
