Sacramento Kings vs Memphis Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies are sitting in the 9th spot with no chance of being any worse than 10th. Sure after that dominant win against the Dallas Mavs in a revenge spot, I'm sure they thought they'd overtake the Warriors for the 8th seed with the Warriors having the Suns later on that night. But then the Warriors beat PHX. Everything went right for the Grizzlies in that game. They shot 57% from the field and 48%(16-33) from 3. It's hard to string together back to back performaces like that, especially when you're looking at an inferior opponent like the Kings.

The Kings are 11th in the west, 2 games back of the Spurs with 3 games left in season. It's a long shot, but there's still a possibility they can make the play-in. With a loss today(or a Spurs win), they'd officially be eliminated. TBH, I don't think the organization cares to win games right now being that they are keeping Fox, Bagley, and Barnes out, but the players that are playing do. I think it helps that the players that are on the floor, are auditioning for minutes and contracts next year, and the defense has gotten better since Fox went down. The Grizzlies are already an under team at home and are coming off of an offensive performance where they scored 133 in regulation. Needless to say, I think they'll be in a dog fight today.
