[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Grizzlies do not have a high scoring team, ranking 25th in the league in scoring, but have been winning with their defense, which leads the league only allowing an average of 86.3 ppg.
Not only are the Griz playing great D. but they are also forcing an average of 20.3 turnovers per game.
After 2 games New Orleans Anthony Davis leads the league in rebounding and ranks 2nd in scoring. His defense may be more important tonight facing the strength of the Memphis squad, which is their frontcourt duo of Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph. He will need some help inside and in the loss to Dallas the Pelicans were outscored in the paint 62-46.
On the other side of the coin Gasol and Randolph have to play good inside D facing a new Orleans team that leads the league in rebounding.
Mike Conley and Courtney Lee are 2 backcourt players for the Griz that are scoring in double figures and they need to shoot the rock well tonight to open up the lane for the big guys.
Conley is averaging 14 ppg and is Memphis’ 3rd leading scorer, but he has struggled with his shot early on in the season going 16 for 47 from the field.
