Could a win streak be on the horizon for the Memphis Grizzlies?
Perhaps. But the Utah Jazz aren’t pushovers thanks to their own style of defense and scoring from low-post star Derrick Favors and top forward Gordon Hayward.
Both Favors and Hayward are combining for 35.8 points per game on 47.4 percent shooting from the field. They’ve been efficient two-way players for the Jazz all season and are huge factors in shutting down the Grizzlies’ plans to win this game.
Fortunately Memphis has picked up its defensive effort of late holding opponents to 93.
