The New Years Eve NBA card includes the Memphis Grizzlies facing the. Houston Rockets in their second match of the 2018-19 regular season. In their last game on Saturday the Grizzlies lost to the visiting Boston Celtics. Houston also played on Saturday in a close win over the Pelicans.
Last season, the teams split the season series and Houston took the initial match this year. The Rockets hold the all-time record having bested the Grizzlies in 58 of their 23 matches.
Memphis Grizzlies
For much of the early season the Grizzlies ranked among the top seeds in the West, but seven losses in their last 10 games shifted them outside the bracket.
They’ve won two of their last three and will be looking to move up from their current 10th position. In their last game they fell to the Boston Celtics despite the efforts of Mike Conley who led his team with 26 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds.

Recently returning from injury Dillon Brooks scored 19 points showcasing why the Grizzlies weren’t intent to part ways with the youngster in the trade that fell through with the Suns and Wizards.
Marc Gasol and Jaren Jackson each pitched in 15 points while Kyle Anderson added 10 as the other double-digit point contributors.

The Grizzlies issues stem from their offense where they rank 26th in the league. Their sixth ranked defense keeps them competitive in most matches. Memphis holds teams to the sixth lowest field goal percentage and allows teams to score the second fewest points.
Joakim (right heel soreness) and Garrett Temple (right groin) are both expected to play Monday against the Rockets. Chandler Parsons (right knee soreness) isn’t expect back until the New Year.
Houston Rockets
James Harden has been putting on a show these past few weeks leading Houston to 9 wins in their last 10 games and will look to extend their current win streak to five in a row.
In the defeat of the Pelicans, Harden had another huge night scoring 41 points along with 6 assists and 9 rebounds. It was his third consecutive 40 (or more) point performance fourth in the Rockets last seven games.
In the last 10 games the lowest point total the current MVP has produced is 29.

The Rockets issues are precisely the opposite of the Grizzlies as Houston boast the league’s third best offense but rank 25th defensively.
James Ennis III (right hamstring strain) is questionable for the match. Eric Gordon (bruised right knee) was injured during the Pelican game and is out versus Memphis. Chris Paul (Grade 2 left hamstring strain) will be out for up to four weeks.
NBA Betting Trends:
- Rockets are 6-4 in last 10 head to head contests.
- Rockets are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 head to head meetings.
- Over Under is 4-6 in team’s last 10 head to head matchups.
Free Memphis Grizzlies vs. Houston Rockets NBA Prediction:
Without Eric Gordon available the pressure on James Harden to score increases and the Grizzlies will lock in on trying to make Harden’s job more difficult with their quality defense.
