The 4-2 Houston Rockets look to continue in their winning ways as they make the trip to Tennessee’s FedEx Forum to face the Memphis Grizzlies on the road this Wed. (Nov. 5) night. Can the Rockets capitalize on the very public internal dysfunction and the injuries that are making life hard for the Grizzlies this season?
Or could this be a trap game for Houston with their spirits high and focus perhaps a bit less sharp than it ought to be? We think that the Rockets should come away with another victory, but the potential for a Rockets upset exists if Memphis can turn their recent concerns into fuel.
Records, standing, and streaks
At present, the Rockets have a 3-4 record, which puts them fifth in the West in the midst of a four-game win streak.
The Grizzlies own a 3-5 record, which puts them 11th in the Western Conference standings following a three-game losing streak.
What happened in the last game for each team?
Houston beat the Dallas Mavericks at home 110-102.
The Grizzlies, also at home, dropped a game to the Detroit Pistons 114-106.
