Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks Set to Clash at FedExForum
As the Memphis Grizzlies prepare to host the New York Knicks at FedExForum, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends could play a significant role. The Grizzlies have had an inconsistent season so far, but their latest performances suggest an upward trajectory that could spell trouble for the visiting Knicks.
In their past three games, the Grizzlies have shown considerable offensive firepower. Despite a 9-19 record, they've managed to score over 115 points in each of these contests. Their most recent outing against the Hawks ended in a narrow victory with 125 points on the board, showcasing their ability to outscore opponents in high-scoring affairs.
One notable aspect of their play has been efficiency from inside the paint. In all three games, they've shot well over 50 percent from two-point range and have consistently scored more than half of their points in this area. This inside dominance is complemented by an improving outside game; against the Pacers, they hit nearly 46 percent of their three-point attempts.
Defensively, there's room for improvement as they've allowed over 110 points in each game. However, there are positive signs here too; against Indiana at home and Atlanta away, they recorded seven blocks per game and showed an ability to disrupt shots effectively.
Rebounding has also been strong for Memphis with more than 50 total rebounds in two out of these three games which could be crucial against New York's physical frontcourt.
The upcoming match will be played at FedExForum – a venue where home-court advantage has proven beneficial for Memphis recently. With both teams looking to establish momentum mid-season, it's set up to be a competitive encounter that will test both sides' resolve and strategies.
Fans can catch this exciting matchup on January 14th at BSSE or MSG networks depending on your location or head down to FedExForum if you're looking for live action starting from 7:00 PM Central Time (CT).
