The Memphis Grizzlies (44-27) will host the Houston Rockets (18-54) Wednesday night in a Western Conference matchup between teams with different expectations. The Grizzlies are 2-0 straight up against Houston this season with road wins by seven and 14 points.
The Houston Rockets have the second-worst record in the NBA, with just two more wins than the Detroit Pistons. Although winning at this point of this season doesn't seem to benefit the Rockets much, they are a respectable 5-5 straight up in their last 10 games, but coming off consecutive losses at home to New Orleans (117-107) and Golden State (121-108). The Rockets are just 6-28 straight up and 12-22 ATS on the road.

Getting a top-two pick in the NBA Draft would be great for the Rockets, whose top six scorers are between 19 to 22 years old. Jalen Green leads the team with 21.8 ppg, followed by Kevin Porter Jr with 18.7 ppg, and Alperen Sengun with 14.6 ppg and a team-best 8.8 rebounds.
When a team is 36 games under .500, there are alot of flaws and that's the case with Houston. The Rockets are in the bottom two of the NBA in points scored, field goal, and three-point percentage. The defense is 26th allowing 118.1 ppg, 19th in field goal percentage allowed, and 28th against the three.
