In their previous three games, the Grizzlies have showcased their talent and determination. Ja Morant has been exceptional, averaging 30 points and 11 assists per game. His ability to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates has been instrumental in the team's success.

Joining Morant in the spotlight is Desmond Bane, who has been a consistent contributor for the Grizzlies. Bane has averaged an impressive 37 points per game over the last three matchups. His shooting prowess, with a field goals percentage of 52 percent and a three-point percentage of 35 percent, makes him a threat from beyond the arc.

The Grizzlies' frontcourt has also played a crucial role in their recent victories. Jaren Jackson Jr., Xavier Tillman, and Vince Williams Jr. have all made significant contributions on both ends of the court. Jackson Jr.'s field goals percentage of 80 percent stands out as a testament to his scoring ability.


On the other side of the court, the Sacramento Kings will be looking to disrupt the Grizzlies' winning streak. De'Aaron Fox has been leading the charge for the Kings with an average of 27 points per game in their previous matchups. His speed and agility make him a difficult player to guard.
