Today in the NBA, the Grizzlies welcome the Nets in what should be an entertaining match at the Fedex Arena. If you plan to watch Memphis Grizzlies vs New Jersey Nets live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Memphis vs New Jersey match preview.
Memphis Grizzlies vs New Jersey Nets
The Grizzlies go into this one with a 43% winning record, and naturally as favorites over the New Jersey Nets. Lionel Hollins will be sure to keep an eye on the New Jersey streak (W 1), but the key against Nets will be containing Devin Harris, Brook Lopez and Anthony Morrow. The Grizzlies point differential is -0.7 this season (good for number 18 in the NBA), and better than the New Jersey Nets’s average losing margin of -4.8 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Nets will need to play to their strengths and their 19.5 free throws made per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 11th best in the whole league in that area). Avery Johnson’s team is 8-20 this season and today will hope to improve their 2-12 record away from Izod Center.
Memphis have been dominating their opponents this season in the turnovers departement, with a -2.1 turnovers differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 9.4 steals average per game is 1st in the NBA, and that will be an area that Avery Johnson and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Grizzlies’ 8-5 home record.The fans in the Fedex Arena are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Grizzlies vs Nets online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 20:00 ET today.
