Following yet another win, our 5th in a row, against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Pelicans hit the road to take on the Grizzlies. The Grizz are, of course, not afraid of anyone in the west despite their losing record against the West, so we should be prepared for a fearless team.
The Grizzlies are currently 21-13, but are only 2-4 in their last six games. That doesn't mean too much - we all know even good teams can lose a few, we just had a losing streak - but it's something to be aware of, especially when you consider that 3 of those 4 losses were by 14+ points.
Part of that is road related though, and the Grizz are a better team at home, so we can't walk in there - especially on the second night of a back to back - and expect to steam roll. The team will need to be on their best behaviour and playing in full force to secure a win.
Let's see what happens.
