Grizzlies Looking To End Two-Game Slide
The Memphis Grizzlies play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder, at FedEx Forum on Monday evening.

This marks the second game of a three-game home stand for the Grizzlies (29-44), which began with a loss to the Timberwolves on Saturday. The Grizzlies are 19-18 at home this season. They are 5-5 in their last 10 games overall, but have lost their last two in a row. Despite the rough season, and a trade that sent Marc Gasol away, the Grizzlies have been looking good lately, as Jonas Valanciunas and Delon Wright have had some impressive showings already. Valanciunas is averaging 19.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 blocks, in 28 minutes per game, while Wright is averaging 11.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game, over their last 10 games. The Grizzlies remain a solid defensive club, as they hold opponents to an average of 105.2 points per game, which is second lowest in the league.

Meanwhile, this marks the second game of a two-game road trip for the Thunder (43-30), who have had a few days since grabbing a win in Toronto on March 22nd. Prior to the win in Toronto, the Thunder had lost four games in a row. They are 20-18 on the road this season and sit sixth place in the tightly packed West, with a 0.5-game lead over eighth place. Russell Westbrook is on the verge of averaging a triple-double for the third straight season, as he is averaging 23.1 points, 10.4 assists and 11,1 rebounds per game. Paul George has also been very productive, averaging 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.2 steals per game. Jerami Grant has been a consistent force, averaging 13.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.3 blocks, in 32 minutes per game. The Thunder score an average of 114.5 points per game, which is sixth most in the league.
