Today in the NBA, the Grizzlies welcome the Raptors in what should be an entertaining match at the Fedex Arena. If you plan to watch Memphis Grizzlies vs Toronto Raptors live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Memphis vs Toronto match preview.
Memphis Grizzlies vs Toronto Raptors
The Grizzlies go into this one with a 43% winning record, and naturally as favorites over the Toronto Raptors. Lionel Hollins will be sure to keep an eye on the Toronto streak (L 2), but the key against Raptors will be containing Andre Bargnani, Demar DeRozan and Linas Kleiza. The Grizzlies point differential is -0.5 this season (good for number 17 in the NBA), and better than the Toronto Raptors’s average losing margin of -3.8 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Raptors will need to play to their strengths and their 12.2 offensive rebounds per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 6th best in the whole league in that area). Jay Triano’s team is 10-19 this season and today will hope to improve their 3-10 record away from Air Canada Center.
Memphis have been dominating their opponents this season in the turnovers departement, with a -2.2 turnovers differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 9.4 steals average per game is 2nd best in the NBA, and that will be an area that Jay Triano and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Grizzlies’ 8-6 home record.
