The Memphis Grizzlies will host the Houston Rockets in a highly-anticipated game on Thursday, Jan. 30, at the FedExForum. The hosts will enter the game on the back of a blowout 143-106 defeat to the New York Knicks. They will aim to turn around their past loss, which put an end to their six-match winning streak.

The game against the Knicks saw Jaren Jackson Jr. finishing with 21 points and four rebounds, while Desmond Bane recorded 16 points. While the Grizzlies have won six out of their last seven games, their superstar Ja Morant is going through quite a few injury struggles. He has already missed the qualification mark and is now out of contention for the NBA honors this year.

After playing for the side in the 132-120 win over the Hornets, Morant was sidelined against the Pelicans and Jazz due illness. Over the last five games, he has only averaged 15.4 points, 8.2 assists and 3.6 rebounds.

Morant returned against the Knicks and finished with 10 points, five rebounds and two assists.
