The team managed the victory despite another poor shooting night from Kyle Lowry. He scored 18 points, but needed 25 shots to accumulate them.

Shooting guard DeMar DeRozan led the team with 21 points the last time they met the Grizzlies, a game which Toronto won 96-92.

The Grizzlies fell to the Dallas Mavericks by a score of 103-95 on Monday.

Point guard Mike Conley returned from a two-game absence in that one after sitting out with sore ankles and score 22 points in 30 minutes.

FREE Raptors vs. Grizzlies Pick:

The Raptors have struggled mightily of late, particularly at the offensive end of the court, averaging only 93.0 points per game over their last four contests.

However, they’ve picked up their play at the defensive end of the court, where they’ve limited opponents to 94.5 points per game.

Not surprisingly, the under has come through in each of their last four games. Now they’ll take on a Grizzlies squad that likes to slow the pace and plays great defense. In the only meeting between the teams this season, the squads played under a total of 192.5 in a 96-92 Raptors win. With that result, the teams have played under the number in four of five and seven of 10.

Additionally, the Grizzlies are the squad in far better form of late. With the added advantage of getting this game at home, they seem destined to add another notch to the win column.
