The Memphis Grizzlies look to complete a 3-1 series win over division rival — and the Western Conference leader — Houston Rockets at home. It’s certainly going to be the biggest challenge among all their matchups this season. For the first time this season, the Grizzlies will see a Rockets team that has Chris Paul in action. Unfortunately, the Grizzlies won’t have Mike Conley to battle against CP3.
It puts Memphis in a vulnerable position. They lack their best playmaker against two of the best facilitators in basketball. In this matchup, they really need Marc Gasol, the role players and the defense at peak levels.
