The Memphis Grizzlies completed an 11-game stretch against Western Conference foes with a 6-5 record. Next up is three consecutive games against teams with records under .500, starting with the Charlotte Hornets.
The Hornets (11-28) have third-worst record in the Eastern Conference, but they have been playing their best basketball of late, winning a season-high three consecutive games. That run has been led by potential All-Star guard LaMelo Ball, who is averaging 29.2 points per game.
Memphis (28-15) has its own dynamic point guard in Ja Morant and a group of co-stars including Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr.
