Memphis Grizzlies
If you are seeking a great League Pass watch consider adding the Grizzlies to your short list. They play with a fast pace, getting up copious shots, and are dialed in defensively.
Although Ja Morant will likely get the tap if any Grizzlies play in the All-Star Game, consideration should be afforded to Jaren Jackson Jr. who is averaging 22.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.7 blocks per game.

Grizzlies Stats
The Grizzlies rank fifth both offensively (116.6) and defensively (109.5) with a positive net differential of +7.1 ranking fourth overall.
Memphis possesses a 25-14 record against the spread through 39 matches this season.
Grizzlies Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Marcus Smart, PG (OUT — finger)
- Gregory Jackson, SF (OUT— foot)
- Vince Williams, SG (OUT indefinitely — ankle)
- Jay Huff, C (day-to-day — knee)
- Cam Spencer, G (OUT — thumb)
Houston Rockets
Although they still feel incomplete, the young core of Alperen Sengun, Jalen Green, Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr., and Tari Eson feel similar to the core the OKC Thunder began to build a few seasons back.
The key difference is Houston doesn’t have a superstar talent the likes of SGA. Perhaps the biggest question then is whether Sengun or Green can climb to those heights or if the Rockets are simply one superstar away from joining OKC and Memphis as the young Western powerhouses.
Rockets Stats
The Rockets rank tied for 11th offensively (113.2) and are third defensively (107.0), with a net differential of plus +6.2 ranking sixth overall.
Houston is among the best bets against the spread with a 22-15 record through 37 games.
Rockets Injury Report

- Tari Eason, SF (doubtful — lower leg)

Free NBA Prediction:
Without question, these two clubs are among the most exciting young franchises in the West. OKC is still the cream of that crop but there are similarities between all three clubs in terms of their defensive prowess and depth of sheer young talent.
Memphis needs to win this match to give themselves a chance at the tiebreaker in the series so look for them to come out aggressively. For that reason, I won’t be surprised if this becomes a defensive battle falling well short of the over as Houston seeks to slow Memphis and limit their shot-making.
