Toronto Raptors vs Memphis Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies, who are currently playing well, will travel to play the Toronto Raptors in their upcoming NBA game. Their hosts are third from last in the East, while they come with the second-best record in the Western Conference.

The Raptors' five-game winning streak has been broken by their recent slump in play, as they have dropped two of their previous three games. In their most recent game, Darko Rajakovic's team lost to the Knicks 115-121 at home.

They now have the fifth-worst record in the league after losing 34 of 50 games.The Grizzlies, who are playing well, will come into this game with the intention of defeating their hosts and winning the regular season. Taylor Jenkins' team is on a three-match winning streak and has won nine of their previous ten games.

Last time out, Memphis, who have averaged 126 points over their last three games, defeated the Spurs 128-109. They now hold the fourth-best record in both conferences with a 34-16 record.

A month ago, the Raptors lost the rematch to the Grizzlies. They scored 155 points, setting a franchise record and the season's greatest total by a single club.

The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the San Antonio Spurs 128-109 at FedExForum to win three straight games. Gregory Jackson scored 27, Ja Morant scored 25, and Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 31 points.

The Toronto Raptors lost to the New York Knicks 121-115 at Scotiabank Arena in their most recent game. Scott Barnes scored 23, Jamal Shead scored 16, and Gradey Dick scored 14.

In their last two encounters with the Raptors, the Grizzlies have prevailed. They won 155-126 at FedExForum after winning 108-100 at Scotiabank Arena. In the last ten meetings between these teams, each franchise has won five of them.

The Memphis Grizzlies have a strong offensive line that averages 123.4 points per game (1st in scoring splits) and exceptional shooting efficiency (48.6% FG, 5th) going into their game against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Toronto's 24th-ranked defensive rebounding squad might be overpowered by Memphis' dominance on the rebounding end (47.7 RPG).

The Raptors, who have won eight of their past ten games, will depend on Immanuel Quickley's slow recovery from injury and Scottie Barnes' all-around performance (19.2 PPG, 6.5 APG). Although JJJ scored 31 points to help the Grizzlies win their most recent encounter 128-109, Toronto's 5-5 ATS record in previous head-to-head games speaks to possible competition.

Toronto's 24th-ranked defensive rebounding will be exploited by Memphis' rebounding advantage (47.7 RPG, 1st), especially since Jakob Poeltl (14.6 PPG, 10.3 RPG) doesn't have dependable backup assistance. Santi Aldama (23 points against Milwaukee) and GG Jackson (season-high 27 points against San Antonio) are two examples of the Grizzlies' depth, which stands in stark contrast to Toronto's injury-plagued rotation, which includes Bruce Brown's uncertain availability and Immanuel Quickley's slow comeback.

Memphis' perimeter defense will be tested by Scottie Barnes (20.3 PPG, 6.5 APG) and RJ Barrett (21.7 PPG), but the Raptors' erratic three-point shooting (35.1%) helps the Grizzlies, who are eighth in opponent FG% (45%). A Toronto team that is still reestablishing defensive cohesion could be overwhelmed by Memphis' transition style and interior scoring (66 points vs Milwaukee).
