The Memphis Grizzlies and the Oklahoma City Thunder are set to battle it out at FedExForum in an NBA clash. The Grizzlies are in tenth place in the Western Conference standings, while the Thunder leads at the top. Here's our match prediction. 

It hasn't been going well for the Memphis Grizzlies lately. Victories have been few and far between, having lost five of their last six matches heading into this clash. 

In their recent outing, the Grizzlies faced the Phoenix Suns on the second night of a back-to-back. Fatigue ultimately took its toll in that match as they succumbed to a 117-98 defeat at FedExForum.

Having enjoyed two nights of rest, Tuomas Iisalo's men will be hoping for a positive outcome this time around. However, their recent performances at FedExForum have been below expectations, with four of their last six matches at this venue resulting in defeat.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have also enjoyed the same number of rests as their opponents in this impending encounter. The visitors' primary objective in this clash is to record their second straight win.

Before their recent 129-125 overtime victory over the Utah Jazz in front of their home crowd, they had suffered two consecutive defeats.

On the bright side, though, the Thunder have won five of their last seven matches. In unfamiliar territory, they've lost three of their previous four outings.
