The Knicks are coming into this game playing very well in their recent games as they have won their last 3 straight and they are coming off of some monster wins against playoff teams as well. They are coming off of a win in their last game against the Mavericks in Dallas and they won that game by 30 points while holding the Mavericks to 77. All good things must come to an end though and they are going up against a Grizzlies team that has been much better than the Knicks have been all season. The Grizzlies are the 2nd best team in the Western Conference and they have won 2 of their last 3 games coming into this one. They have been smashing a lot of teams in their recent games by double digits and that is thanks to Ja Morant who has been going off this season and really breaking out as a true superstar in the NBA. He will be tough for the Knicks to stop here and this is likely where their streak comes to an end. The Grizzlies will blow past the Knicks here and win this game by double digits.

"I love the way our guys are coming out and the intensity that we're playing with and the togetherness on both sides of the ball. The challenge doesn't stop. We can't feel too good about ourselves." - Tom Thibodeau on his team’s win against the Mavericks on Wednesday night.

 

 

"Obviously getting stops on the defensive end helps us get out and run rather than taking the ball out of the net. At that point, we've got a lot of guys who can push the break." - Ja Morant on their win against the Pelicans on Tuesday night.
