The Grizzlies tied a team record with Wednesday’s 11th straight win, making them the hottest team in the NBA. For a group that’s been vocal about their perception in the crowded West, I’m hopeful that they’ll have a chance to raise the franchise’s mark with a hard-fought effort against the Lakers in Los Angeles on Friday.

Not only did Memphis win a series of close games, but it also dominated the team during the streak. The Grizzlies have boasted the NBA’s highest nets rating (+12.3) for nearly 12 games, more than half of which he’s been in double digits after Monday’s victory over the Suns by a margin of 30 points. is obtained by

Lakers vs Grizzlies Prediction (10pm ET, ESPN)

Naturally, Ja Morant was at the center of everything. Since his December 29, when Memphis’ streak began, he’s scored at least his 20 points in each of his last eight starts, averaging 28.3 points and his 8.1 assists on 53% shooting. I’m here. Kevin Durant (33) scored more points with a higher percentage over the same span.

Bet on the NBA?

Speaking of James, his high scoring percentage doesn’t mean much on the win-loss line. The Lakers have dropped his four of his final five games after a short five-game winning streak that had hopes of a comeback. That one win? Home win over Tanking Rockets. That doesn’t exactly inspire confidence that the red-hot Grizzlies are coming to town.
