Game 27: Mavericks vs. Grizzlies

Memphis plays the Lakers before they play the Mavericks. Let's just say that they Grizzlies lose that game... pretty safe guess, I would admit. And then they play the Mavs Tuesday. Tired. Well, after getting ripped a new one by the Lakers, they could be... or they simply forfeit the game and rest all the starters for the Mavericks game... well, that might be a better plan of action. The last time the Grizzlies did play the Lakers, they did win... mmmmmmm... what to do, what to do....

Josh Howard is still a bit of a concern to me. At least he's still playing. And his numbers will climb back up to where we know and love them to be...

Grizzlies Player Stats 08-09

Name	O.J. Mayo	Rudy Gay	Marc Gasol	Hakim Warrick
Points Per Game	20.3	20.2	10.8	9.8

Assists Per Game	2.8	1.7	1.3	0.6
Blocks Per Game	0.08	0.77	1.08	0.38

Really not too much to look at when it comes assists... they're not a strong rebounding team, either. They're SSSOOO going to lose to the Lakers. And they don't appear to matchup too well against the Mavs.
Forecast: Keepin' it simple... Grizzlies drop this one like a newspaper at 3AM. Score looks like: 102-93.
