HOU Vs MEM Dream11 Prediction : HOU Vs MEM Dream11 Team Overview, Match Centre And Probable Playing 5: On a downward spiral, Memphis Grizzles clutching at straws in a bid to retain their spot in the top 8.

With three defeats in a row, Memphis Grizzlies sit perilously on the cusp of being shunted out of the top 8 of the Western Conference. They are clutching at straws at the moment to sit in 8th spot, a position which is persistently in Portland’s sights who are eyeing displacing Memphis from the spot.
At a time of such peril, Houston Rockets is the last outfit Memphis Grizzlies would have wanted to visit. They are taking on the Western Conference’s fifth placed outfit, a side which has a 20-8 record infront of its own raucous supporters along with a 75% win rate in the final stretch of the showpiece league.
And they have justified that record as well with four wins in succession at the moment to canter their way towards the annuls of the points tally. They have flourished over the last two weeks with their exemplary brand of basketball paid a testament to the last time around as they pummelled and battered New York Knicks 123-112.
Probable Winner
This should be an extremely easy game for the Rockets to win. They are coming across a dwindling Memphis unit, a side which has failed to address its contentious issues in defence, a harsh aberration which will lead to their demise on the day.

Dream 11 Picks
HOU Vs MEM Dream11 Point Guard
With the 7.9 rpg, Russell Westbrook has acted as the perfect point guard for Houston Rockets this season. Be it latching onto the second chance points to turning over possession for his outfit, the player’s ability to change possession has seen him execute pinch perfect quick break points for his unit.
HOU Vs MEM Dream11 Shooting Guard
The home side’s leading scorer with an astounding 35.3 ppg along with the 7.4 apg per game to go with them, James Harden was a regulation pick for us for the upcoming encounter. Be it opening up the zone and sending down treys or laying up the ball for the rest of the side, the player has been pivotal to the side’s attacking gameplan this term.
Elsewhere, we have the one player be deployed by us from Memphis Grizzlies as well with Josh Jackson coming into our setup for the upcoming encounter.

Elsewhere, from the visiting unit we have Kyle Anderson being indulged in by us given his endearing attacking play, one which has seen him drop baskets at crucial junctures for the side.
HOU Vs MEM Dream11 Power Forward
Considered one of the buys of the bygone trades, Gorgui Dieng has shown exactly why he was so highly coveted. The power forward has been extremely treacherous to match up against with his ability to pull off deflections and steals along with guard and screen players making him a must have selection for this tie.
From Houston Rockets meanwhile we are going to be dwelling in the services of the guile filled Robert Covington, someone who has sent down floating jump points with ease.
