The Memphis Grizzlies (43-25) visit the Sacramento Kings (33-33) on Monday, March 17, 2025, at the Golden 1 Center.
The Grizzlies are fresh from a convincing 125-91 victory over the Miami Heat, their fifth win in the last six games. Top star Ja Morant didn't even play in that game, although that might only be a case of load management on a back-to-back schedule. Morant did have 44 points on 17-22 shooting in their March 14 game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
As for the Kings, they have lost four straight games by an average margin of 18 points. They're in a tough stretch of their schedule that also features the Clippers, Knicks, Warriors, Suns, and Cavaliers. During that span, the Kings averaged a paltry defensive rating of 129.8, down from their season average of 115.5.
So far, the regular season series between Memphis and Sacramento is tied at 1-1. However, this could be a more difficult game for the Kings. Their interior defense has been a problem all season long, which could be a big problem against Morant and the Grizzlies.
Plus, Sacramento has to deal with Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. This is a game that favors the Grizzlies, especially if they get Morant back.
