Houston Rockets vs Memphis Grizzlies: Current situation
At 25-12 the Rockets hold a firm grip on the 2nd seed in the Western Conference, 6 games back of the OKC Thunder who seem to be running away with it. Houston is an impressive 16-8 SU in games against teams from the Western Conference, they also have a 2-0 lead in the head-to-head meetings with Memphis, clinching the regular season series would give them the tie-breaker in a potential scenario at the end of the season.
Memphis has been one of the more pleasant surprises this season, going 25-14 SU in their first 39 games. Injuries have plagued this team in years past, even this season they’ve dealt with Ja Morant being out for an extended period of time. Right now they have a total of 4 players on the injury report, the most notable names are Marcus Smart and GG Jackson.
Houston Rockets Stats & Form
Houston had their game against Atlanta on Saturday delayed due to poor weather in the area surrounding the Toyota Center. As a result they’ve gotten a couple of more days of extra rest which should do them well here. With the Hawks game being postponed, Houston’s last game prior to Monday’s will be the one against Memphis which they won 119-115 on the road 4 days ago.
Memphis Grizzlies Stats & Form
The Grizzlies played a game in Minnesota after that clash with Houston, bouncing back with an impressive 127-125 win. Ja Morant didn’t have the best of games offensively going just 5-for-19 from the field, but he came up big in the clutch scoring the game winning floater to ice the game for Memphis. Not a lot of defense was on display in that game, it’s worth pointing out that Memphis grabbed an impressive 21 rebounds which allowed them to attempt a season high 108 shots from the field.
Houston Rockets vs Memphis Grizzlies: Head-to-Head
It’s been all Houston in the first two meetings this season, winning both on the road and at home. The home win was particularly impressive 128-108, with all 5 starters and 2 reserves scoring in double digits. Houston also won the regular season series last year 3-1, which means they are now 5-1 SU over the last 6 meetings.
Houston Rockets – Memphis Grizzlies Odds
Backing the Rockets to win a 4th game in a row gets you 4/5 odds. If you like Memphis here, you can get odds of 6/4 for a road victory.
The point total has been set at 234.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Houston Rockets vs Memphis Grizzlies (13.01.2025)
Points have been easy to get in the two meetings earlier this season between these teams, that trend should continue on Monday as both of them are in solid shape on that end of the floor. During this 3-game win streak the Rockets have put up 119 twice and 135 points once, playing at home should allow them to have a similar output. Memphis is just coming off a night where they scored 127 vs Minnesota, their problems lie mostly on the defensive end where they allow 115.1 points per game which ranks 21st in the NBA. In road games that number goes up to 119.4, we saw them allow 128 to the Rockets in the first meeting of the season at Toyota Center. When playing on the road, Memphis has cashed on the over 14 times in 19 games, including 6 of their last 7. That’s to be expected from the team that averages 105.2 possessions per game which is the most in the league. Houston is playing at a slightly slower pace, but when needed they are more than capable of ramping it up. With 7 players averaging double-digit points, the Rockets can afford the luxury of one of their stars having a bad game. They’re averaging 113.1 points per game this season and 124.3 per game in their 3 most recent outings. I say we stick with the trends here and back the points.
