Day game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Regardless of Mitchell’s status, Cleveland will arguably be the Grizzlies' toughest test, as they try to extend their current 10-game win streak and tie the franchise record for longest win streak at 11 games. The Cavaliers are currently tied for 4th in the Eastern Conference standings and are only. 5 games out from 2nd in the standings out east. Record-wise, the New Orleans Pelicans and Sacramento Kings are the only other teams during this win streak that is close to the competition the Cavs could present. Both of these teams seem to be relatively healthy and playing some of their best basketball (the Cavaliers have won 6 of 9), so the fans should be in for a treat.

It would have also marked the Grizzlies' first look against the Cavaliers with Donovan Mitchell, but he was downgraded to Doubtful with a left groin strain injury he suffered in the 2nd half of the Cavaliers' Martin Luther King Jr.
Additionally, only 1 of those 3 losses has come against an Eastern Conference foe, and that was the NBA’s leading Boston Celtics back in early November. Of their 22 home games, 10 have come against the Eastern Conference including playing the current top 7 teams in the East standings to a 6-1 record with a point differential of 67 points. Therefore, the Grizzlies are dominant at home against the best the East has to offer, and considering the Cavaliers have a losing record on the road, that trend should continue tonight.

The Prediction The pressure of tying the franchise record for the longest win streak can creep into the minds of the players, but considering this year’s team consists of the majority of the same team that tied that record last season, I expect that not to matter. Cleveland poses a real threat and could be a real contender out east, but the Grizzlies' dominance at home — especially against the East — should tilt the scales in the Grizzlies' favor and give them a boost as they head into a five-game road trip after this game. Prediction: Cleveland 111, Memphis 126 Make sure you listen to our newest podcast ‘Grizzly Bear Bets’ for betting guidance for every single Grizzlies game this season.
