Memphis Grizzlies vs Houston Rockets: Current situation
No team in the NBA has been more efficient on offense than the Memphis Grizzlies over the past 10 games. They’re scoring 121.1 points per 100 possessions, relying on offense most of the time to win games. That’s worked well for most of the season so far, however things will have to change down the line come postseason time. As things stand the Grizzlies rank 3rd in the West, that would pit them against the LA Clippers in the 1st round of the postseason.
After this latest 4-game win streak the Rockets are now in firm control over the 2nd seed in the West. They are 1.5 games ahead of the Grizzlies, but even if the two teams finish with an identical record that would put the Rockets ahead as they’ve already clinched the regular season series. The ascent of Jalen Green this month has been fun to watch, he has now upped his scoring average to an NBA elite 25.8 points per game in January. Houston is one of the safer bets in road games, having covered the spread 15 times in 24 games.
Memphis Grizzlies Stats & Form
Memphis just had a 6-game win streak snapped at the hands of the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. It was just a bad match-up for the Grizzlies who could just never get going, especially from the three-point line where they made just 9 of 24 attempts. The silver lining from that defeat lies in the fact that none of the starters played more than 30 minutes, which means they’ll be somewhat fresh for Thursday’s game.
Houston Rockets Stats & Form
Houston celebrated a valuable win over the injury riddled Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday as they came out on top 100-96. Jalen Green continued his stellar play in the month of January by scoring 25 points, four other Rockets players scored in double-figures for a total team effort in the win. Turnovers are something to keep an eye on though, the Rockets committed 21 of them in their last game, it’s hard to imagine them getting away with that type of number in back-to-back games.
Memphis Grizzlies vs Houston Rockets: Head-to-Head

Betting tip and prediction: Memphis Grizzlies vs Houston Rockets (30.01.2025)
Playing the Houston Rockets has been a nightmare for the Memphis Grizzlies who have lost all 3 meetings this year. The last two were decided in the clutch, perhaps playing the final one at home can give the Grizzlies some sort of an advantage. However, after allowing 143 points in their loss at MSG the other night, the Grizzlies will need to tighten up defensively if they want to get a result here. Although their numbers over the past 5 games might not indicate it, Houston remains one of the elite teams in the NBA winning their last 4 games. Their combination of youth and experience, combined with an elite playmaking big man Sengun gives them an edge on most nights in the regular season. Jalen Green has remained consistent, upping his scoring average for the 3rd month in a row to 25.8 points per game in the month of January. On top of that Amen Thompson has performed well, especially in the clutch with him scoring the game winner at Boston a couple of games ago. Memphis will try to run here, that’s just how they’ve played for most of the season. They are a quality home team at 19-5 SU this season, but one of those 5 losses came against the Rockets. With Houston already winning the first 3 meetings, we’re confident they are a solid bet to do so once again on Thursday night.
