The Grizzlies are not having a good season this year. Moreover, it seems that their offence is their main problem as they have trouble scoring more than 100 points per game. Also, their January record is not good as they only won 2 games in the previous month.
Memphis is placed on the 14th spot in the Western Conference with 8.5 games behind the Clippers for the final playoff spot.
On the offensive side of the game, the Grizzlies are scoring an average of 100.5 points per game. Therefore, this record is enough for the 30th spot in the league in scoring.
