The Memphis Grizzlies will host the out-of-form Toronto Raptors hoping to return to winning ways in the NBA. They are third in the Western Conference whereas their visitors from the East are 14th in their conference. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Grizzlies suffered a 114-110 loss at home to the Clippers last time out. Their 10th loss of the season snapped a two-match winning run and saw them drop down in the standings.

Taylor Jenkins’ men are however one of the top teams this season and will be confident of bouncing back here. The Grizzlies have claimed 20 wins and are one of six teams to have done so thus far.

The Raptors have lost eight straight games. This is the longest active losing streak and surpassed their previous longest tally of seven matches without a win.

Darko Rajakovic’s men have lost 23 of their 30 games and only two other teams have fared worse off. Beginning a short two-game road trip, the Raps were outscored 139-125 by the Knicks.

Immanuel Quickley remains out injured and will not be available here. Bruce Brown, Jamal Shead and Jakob Poeltl are questionable. The Raptors, who possess the fifth-worst defensive rating, have lost 13 of 14 road games.
