Memphis has been erratic but is still in the play-in race. This game will rely on whoever can handle a brief rotation because so many players are missing. The Grizzlies have played 26 to the over and 29 to the under in their 55 games. But out of the last nine, seven have exceeded the threshold. Now, their fans are ready for the match.
