Rockets hope listless Grizzlies are cure for their recent skid
When the Houston Rockets visit the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, it will be difficult to know which team feels worse.
www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest I can share up to now:
-
The Rockets and Grizzlies have had multiple recent matchups with varying outcomes. In late March 2026, Houston defeated Memphis 119-109 in one game, while a January 26, 2026 contest in Houston saw the Rockets win 108-99, powered by standout performances from Alperen Şengun and Kevin Durant. These results indicate a competitive series with both teams capable of big offensive nights. [cite ][cite ]

In the broader context of that season, Memphis had some rough stretches and Houston was trying to stabilize after a tough run, making their head-to-head meetings particularly important for player development and momentum as the season progressed. This pattern is typical when two playoff-contending or rebuilding teams meet multiple times in a season. [cite ][cite ]
