Smart Game Analysis
Houston Rockets has a 88% chance of winning the game
The Rockets are poised for a dominant home victory as they face a Grizzlies squad decimated by injuries to key stars like Ja Morant and Zach Edey.
Key Analysis
- • Memphis is missing its primary offensive engine Ja Morant and key big men Zach Edey and Brandon Clarke, leaving them severely shorthanded.
- • The Rockets boast a stellar 15-3 home record and have won three consecutive games at the Toyota Center.
- • Houston's top-ranked rebounding unit (48.8 per game) will overwhelm a Grizzlies frontcourt missing its best interior presence.
- • The presence of Kevin Durant gives Houston an elite scoring option that the depleted Grizzlies defense cannot match.
- • Memphis has lost four straight road games and lacks the depth to compete with Houston's superior defensive rating.
- • To have any chance, the Grizzlies must get an outlier shooting performance from role players like Cam Spencer and Jaren Jackson Jr. to offset the talent gap.
