In this story:

The Memphis Grizzlies snapped an eight-game losing streak with a stunning upset of the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday and followed that up with a strong effort against the Boston Celtics last night, losing just 117-112. 

The Griz are shorthanded as they hit the road hoping to snap a five-game skid in road games, having last won one in Indiana on March 1 against the tanking Pacers. 

The Hornets aren’t looking to lose, hoping they can move up from the No. 10 seed they currently reside in as they look to participate in a contest past Game 82 for the first time since 2016. 

Charlotte is 2-0 on a a seven-game homestand that opened with blowouts of Miami and Orlando to keep its hopes of a Southeast Division title alive. The Hornets are just 2.5 games behind the first-place Magic and will face the Kings, Knicks, 76ers and Celtics following this matchup with Memphis.

The Grizzlies have had a different leading scorer and different leading rebounder in seven straight as they take a thorough look at their roster. 

Memphis is 11-23 in road games and has gone 5-18 against Eastern Conference foes. Charlotte is 16-17 at home and 14-12 against the West.
