My Prediction
Houston Rockets by 6Alright, let's have some fun with this Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies clash, boys and girls. The Rockets have got a powerhouse named Alperen Sengun, who's been dropping 19.8 points per game over the past month along with 10.1 rebounds and 4.5 assists. But wait, should we even mention Jalen Green? Oh, sorry, we probably shouldn't because he's doubtful for today’s game. Silly me! Meanwhile, Amen Thompson's also pulling his weight with 13.9 points and 9 rebounds per game.
On the Grizzlies' side, things are less in the stars, more in the hospital wards. They're riddled with injuries. Jaren Jackson Jr., the man who was averaging 24.2 points in the last month and Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, both of whom were scoring in 20s, are doubtful for this match. So, let's all take a moment of silence for these fallen warriors, will we?
Delving deeper into the old memory vault, it seems that the Rockets pretty much have the historical upper-hand here except for that small blip back on Valentine's day 2024. The Grizzlies surely didn't love losing that or any of their other match-ups.
Now, both teams come into this with identical regular season records (24 wins - 12/13 losses) as tight as a matchup could get. But with the recent momentum leaning in favor of the stars-and-stripes-sporting Houston Rockets and the Grizzlies injury woes, I'll safely be putting my money on Houston.
That being said, let's dive into business. Here it is-
