The Charlotte Hornets had won three in a row before getting routed at Indiana on Sunday. "I thought our guys were battling defensively. (Indiana) is a very physical team. They move the ball and made shots tonight. Give them credit. ... They shot the ball well tonight. We did not." " Hornets coach James Borrego said after the defeat.

The Hornets have since had two days to recover and prepare for this matchup with the reeling Memphis Grizzlies who are losers of six straight and 12 of their last 13.

The Grizzlies have covered the spread in only one of those 12 defeats and have matched up poorly with the Hornets in recent seasons covering the spread in only one of the last seven meetings.
