Saturday, December 15 finds the Houston Rockets meeting up vs. the Memphis Grizzlies as they meet for the first time in the 2018-19 regular season. Memphis will play a back to back series opening against the Heat Friday prior to playing the Rockets.
Meanwhile, the Rockets arrive having last played Thursday in a win versus the Lakers.
Last season, the teams split the season series and have yet to play this season. The Rockets hold the all-time record having bested the Grizzlies in 57 of their 92 matches.
Houston Rockets
The Rockets may have registered the victory behind a 50 points, 11 assist, 10 rebound James Harden triple-double, however the win sparked controversy in the media.

LA weren’t happy about Harden’s foul calls and seemingly mocked him defending with their arms behind their backs.
It will be interesting if this becomes a factor in future games as the bearded MVP capitalizes as much as possible on loop holes to get to the line. Often Harden is the one initiating contact, but ends up shooting free throws. It could serve to put the league on notice that this situation needs to be addressed although it’s unlikely to change until the offseason.

With the Rockets seeded 13th they need to start compiling a streak of wins or they could be in tough to even make the postseason
Eric Gordon (knee) and Marquese Chriss (ankle) are both questionable for Saturday in Memphis. James Ennis III (hamstring) remains out until month end while Zhou Qi (ankle) is out indefinitely.
Carmelo Anthony is no longer with the team as management seeks a trade partner for him.
Memphis Grizzlies
In their last game (prior to Friday night) the Grizzlies defeated the Blazers. In that match Mike Conley led the way with 23 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Jaren Jackson (14), MarShon Brooks (13) and JaMychal Green (12) also produced double digit scoring efforts.

The Grizzlies have endured an up and down season and while they still bring the grit and grind nightly, playing consecutive games hasn’t translated to winning for them. The last time Memphis played in this scenario they won at Memphis but got routed 111-88 by the Lakers in the second game.
Mike Conley is still nursing a sore hamstring, but is expected to play in both games of the back to back.
Jevon Carter (right knee soreness) is confirmed out versus Memphis. Chandler Parsons (right knee soreness) and Dillon Brooks (MCL sprain, left knee) are both expected out until the end of December.
