The Memphis Grizzlies come to town tonight currently in the midst of a double digit losing streak. They haven't matched our season long stretch of 14 games, but they are getting close at 10. With the Lakers up next for them, tonight's game gives them the best opportunity to not be at 12 in a row when they head into the nation's capital on Monday.
The Grizzlies have had problems getting points on the board in January only surpassing 90 points on two of twelve occasions with one those occasions being a rousing 91 points. The Thunder, on the other hand, have put up triple digits in half our games this month and have really turned the season around. With a win tonight, the Thunder will guarantee a .500 record in January which is very impressive considering they only won 14.2% of their games prior to January.
The biggest concern for the Thunder tonight is to not repeat the performance they displayed against the Clippers on Friday. The team has to avoid playing down to its competition. Winning games you're expected to lose is great. Losing games that you should win wipes away the positives from the unexpected victories.
