Grizzlies Struggling to Find Form

Memphis comes into this game with a 23-44 record and has struggled at home with an 11-20 mark. They have lost five straight games, with recent losses to the Chicago Bulls, Detroit Pistons, Dallas Mavericks, Philadelphia 76ers, and Brooklyn Nets.

The Grizzlies average 115.6 points per game while allowing 118.6, and they shoot 46% from the field. They also bring solid rebounding at 43.5 per game and strong ball movement with 28.6 assists per contest.

Memphis has struggled defensively during this stretch, allowing high point totals in multiple games. While they can score, their inability to consistently get stops has been a major factor in their recent losing streak.
