Memphis at New York

Memphis is moving up the defensive rankings, now seventh in the NBA in points allowed. They've won four in a row, including as a dog the last game at New Orleans, 110-95. The Grizzlies have been a sizzling offensive team during their 8-1 run, topping 100 points in each game while averaging 105.8. While Memphis is soaring, New York is slumping, losing three in a row and seven of eight. The Knicks missed an opportunity to make up ground Thursday when it dug itself a 27-point, second-quarter deficit before succumbing 111-105 to the Pistons. The offense is #22 in points scored, #23 in FG shooting. Memphis center Marc Gasol single-handedly destroyed New York with 37 points as the Grizzlies knocked off the Knicks 103-95 on January 16. New York had to play last night while Memphis is working on three days of rest, so grab the red-hot visitors and back Memphis.
