However, consistency has been an issue for Memphis as evidenced by their performance against New Orleans Pelicans just before that win. Despite scoring 115 points and maintaining a close lead towards the end of that match-up, turnovers and defensive lapses nearly cost them dearly.


The upcoming game will be crucial for Memphis to establish momentum moving forward. They'll need to maintain their offensive prowess while tightening up defensively if they want to secure a win on enemy territory.


Fans can catch this exciting NBA action on January 24th at Kaseya Center in Miami starting from 7:30 PM ET. The game will be broadcasted on BSSUN (Home) channel number 653 and BSSE (Away) channel number 649.
