The Memphis Grizzlies (3-5) host the Houston Rockets (4-2) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Wednesday, November 5, at the FedEx Forum.
The Rockets ride a four-game win streak after a 110-102 win over the Dallas Mavericks. It was a great momentum builder as they go on the road for the next three games, including this one at Memphis.
In the win against the Mavericks, the Rockets leaned on a balanced scoring from their main guys. Amen Thompson led the charge with 27 markers, while Alperen Sengun and Kevin Durant contributed 26 and 21 points, respectively.
Through six games, the Rockets now rank first in offensive rating (124.6), while also ranking 7th in defensive rating (112.0).
As for the Grizzlies, it has been a rough stretch of three straight defeats, including a 114-106 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Monday. Jaren Jackson Jr topscored with 21 points on 57.1% shooting, but his fellow star Ja Morant can only muster 31.3% from the field.
Rookie Cedric Coward is still a bright spot for the Grizzlies, scoring 17 against the Pistons and averaging 15.3 points this season. Still, the Grizzlies need more from Morant if they want to seriously compete in the stacked Western Conference.
