Grizzlies Look To Build On Seven-Game Win Streak
The Memphis Grizzlies play host to the New Orleans Pelicans at FedEx Forum on Monday evening.

The Grizzlies (20-22) have won seven in a row and eight of their last 10 games. This marks their sixth and final game of a home stand, where they are undefeated, so far, building on their 12-12 home record. The Grizzlies average 113.5 points per game, but they are allowing their opponents an average of 115.8 points per game, which is fourth most in the league. They average a league-best 28.0 assists per game. Ja Morant has been playing great lately, averaging 18.0 points, 8.5 assists and 4.2 rebounds, over the last 10 games. Jonas Valanciunas also continues to play well, averaging 17.0 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.5 blocks, over the last 10 games. Jaren Jackson Jr. is also playing well, averaging 18.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks, over the last 10 games.

Meanwhile, the Pelicans (16-27) are coming off a loss in their most recent contest but have won six of their last 10 games. They have won three of their last four road games and are 8-14 on the road. Brandon Ingram has been playing great lately, averaging 27.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game, over the last 10 games. Lonzo Ball has also been playing well lately, averaging 17.1 points, 9.3 assists, 7.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, over the last 10 games. Derrick Favors (back) and Jrue Holiday (elbow) are questionable for action, while J.J. Redick is probable for action on Monday. The Pelicans are averaging 14.1 made three-pointers per game, which is third most in the league. They are shooting 36.8 percent from long range, which is fifth best in the league, but they are giving up an average of 15.1 turnovers per game, which is fourth most in the league.
