Kings vs Grizzlies Preview: Kings Looking to Close Out the Year With A Win

Well folks, welcome to the last game of 2016! Facing off against the Memphis Grizzlies at the Golden 1 Center, the Kings will be looking to take this early afternoon game as a chance to further solidify their slim hold on the eighth seed in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies come into this game with their own spot in the top 8, with a firm grip on the 7th seed and a five and a half game lead on the Kings, and are also playing some of their best basketball of the season. Having just two days ago beaten the Oklahoma City Thunder by 34 points, the Grizzlies won’t be hibernating at the chance to pad their own post season positioning against a Kings squad that will still be without some of their own.
