Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Houston Rockets vs. Memphis Grizzlies
Saturday, December 11, 2021 8:10 PM
Play: Point Spread: -8/-110 Memphis Grizzlies
Offensive rebounding is the key for Memphis - 13 /game is nothing to overlook. Memphis can get the extra possessions and extra shots with their guys on the glass - and that will be the way they beat the Houston defense. Memphis have lacked solid D during the first 12-15 games of the season, but they have been playing much better ball lately. Especially their D - who has been shutting teams down since the end of November. Eric Gordon has to try and get better production for Houston - if they could get the 33 year old G more involved, it could spark an otherwise inconsistent game for them. Gordon is a pretty solid player, picking up around 14 pts /game, he can be a problem for the backcourt of Memphis to handle, if they get him involved more than usual. The defense of Houston has not been great, giving up 111+ per outing, sitting at 27th - this is the likely reason Memphis gets the win here. Memphis wins by 14 or more.
