Analyzing Past Performances
The Memphis Grizzlies have shown remarkable resilience and offensive firepower in their recent outings. Their victory against the Bucks was a testament to their balanced attack and defensive prowess. Scoring 122 points while holding their opponents to 99, the Grizzlies demonstrated they could dominate both ends of the floor. With an impressive 52 percent field goal shooting and an even more staggering 90 percent from the free-throw line, they've proven their efficiency in scoring.

On another night against Brooklyn Nets though, despite putting up a strong fight with 106 points scored by leveraging high paint presence (58 points) and fast break opportunities (11 points), they fell short due largely to turnovers (22) which turned into 31 points for Nets - showcasing areas for improvement in ball handling under pressure.
Against Chicago Bulls in another closely contested game that saw them score 123 points against Bulls'126 - it was evident that while Grizzlies can keep up with high-scoring affairs thanks largely due part effective field goal percentage (46%) & dominance inside paint (70 points), there's still room for tightening up defense especially against teams proficient from beyond arc as Bulls were able convert at nearly half rate from three-point land.
