The Memphis Grizzlies will welcome the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers to town on Friday night in what promises to be an intriguing matchup. Cleveland enters the game riding an impressive 15-game winning streak, their second such streak this season, as they continue to solidify their grip on first place in the Eastern Conference. With the second-best record in the NBA, the Cavaliers have been dominant, especially on the road, where they have posted an outstanding 25-6 record. Despite playing away from home, Cleveland will have plenty of confidence as they look to extend their winning streak and maintain their momentum heading into the final stretch of the season.
Memphis, on the other hand, has quietly put together a strong season and is positioned to claim the second seed in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies are currently on a four-game winning streak of their own, and while it may not be as impressive as Cleveland’s run, it has helped them build momentum as the playoffs approach. With a 24-10 record at home, Memphis has been tough to beat in their own building, but their struggles against the Cavaliers in recent matchups raise concerns. Cleveland has won the last four meetings between these teams, including a victory just last month, giving them a psychological edge in this contest.

Our Memphis Grizzlies vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
Both teams will be dealing with key absences in this game. The Cavaliers will once again be without star guard Donovan Mitchell, while the Grizzlies have ruled out Santi Aldama. Additionally, Jaren Jackson Jr. is listed as questionable, and his availability could play a significant role in determining Memphis’ chances. Without Jackson Jr., the Grizzlies would face an even steeper challenge against Cleveland’s formidable frontcourt, which has been one of the best in the league this season.
Cleveland’s ability to win games even without Mitchell is a testament to their depth and balance on both ends of the floor. They have lost just once in their last 20 games, demonstrating their consistency and resilience. Memphis, while improving, may find it difficult to slow down the Cavaliers, especially if Jackson Jr. is unable to play. With their dominant recent form, strong road record, and superior frontcourt play, Cleveland is well-positioned to extend their winning streak and take care of business against a Grizzlies team that has struggled in this matchup. Expect the Cavaliers to come away with another road victory as they continue their pursuit of the top seed in the East. Our prediction for Memphis Grizzlies vs. Cleveland Cavaliers: Cavs win and cover.
