NBA 2022 Live: Grizzlies vs Wizards preview
The Washington Wizards have slid down the Eastern Conference rankings after a strong start to the season. For a time, the squad was in the first place, but they are presently in ninth place. The Wizards are rated 20th in offensive rating despite having players like Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma. Their defense rating is equally low, coming in 22nd with a score of 112.0.
This season, the Memphis Grizzlies have been a squad on a mission. They’ve been promising since the playoffs last season, and they’ve now established themselves as one of the West’s dark horses. Ja Morant is undeniably popular. Other rising players like Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane, on the other hand, make significant contributions.
Head to Head record
