The Grizzlies have been a really good home team too with their 32-5 home record and they have been on a roll lately with 6 wins in a row now. The Clippers have a 40-36 overall record this season and they have been a good road team with their 19-18 road record, but they have still been struggling lately as they are trying to figure things out. The Grizzlies are on a mission right now to catch the Nuggets for the number 1 seed in the West and they are not going to stop until the end of the season.
