On Sunday night the Houston Rockets<\/a> will host the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> in game that many will likely forget after it’s done. The 51-30 Rockets are preparing for the playoffs and are sitting almost their entire starting lineup from their previous game, which was a 136-132 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since the Rockets lost the season series against the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> \u2014 who sit one game ahead of them in the Western Conference standings \u2014 and are three games ahead of the T-Wolves, they have nothing at stake on Sunday except a better final record. The Grizzlies arguably have even less on the line, as they were eliminated from playoff contention long ago.<\/p>\n

Records, standing, and streaks<\/p>\n

Right now the Rockets are 51-30 overall and 8-2 in their last 10 contests. They sit in fifth place in the West and will finish the regular season there.<\/p>\n

As for the Grizzlies, they’re a rough 25-56 and have lost seven games in a row. They (and they’re fans) are certainly ready for an injury-riddled season to end.<\/p>\n

What happened in the last game for each team?<\/p>\n

Houston had an eight-game winning streak snapped by Minnesota on Friday night at the Toyota Center.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Memphis was embarrassed in Salt Lake City on Friday. The Grizzlies were blown out 147-101 by the lowly Utah Jazz<\/a>, who are also far from contention.<\/p>\n
