Southwest division foes will face off on Monday night in the Toyota Center. The Houston Rockets (27-16) will defend their home floor against the Memphis Grizzlies (18-25). To this point, they have met just once this season. In that game, the Rockets took a 12-point lead after the 1st quarter and never looked back in Memphis. The early November 124-109 win was highlighted by the Rockets having 7 different players finish with double-digit points.
The Rockets trail the Spurs by just 2.5 games for the division lead and have a healthy buffer between themselves and this Memphis team that sits in the 3rd spot. Houston has won 4 of their last 5 games, with the lone loss coming on the road to the 76ers, where it lost in overtime. They bounced back from that loss with a win on the road in Detroit on Friday. Durant went for 32 points in the win, and the Rockets were able to hold Detroit’s leading man, Cade Cunningham, to just 12 points.
Memphis is just 3-7 in the new year and is staring at a potential losing streak. They lost back-to-back games to Atlanta and New Orleans earlier this week at home. In those losses, they allowed an average of 128.5 points. It is not easy to win an NBA game when you are allowing that many points. They were scheduled to face Denver on Sunday, but that was postponed due to the weather.
Houston has an opportunity to close the gap with the Spurs even more with a win at home against these Grizzlies. Beating division opponents is never an easy task, and a double-digit spread is an even tougher task.
