PREVIEW: The New York Knicks travel to Memphis on Wednesday, April 1st to face the Grizzlies at FedExForum , looking to snap a frustrating road skid. New York enters with a 48-28 record as heavy favorites, while Memphis sits at 25-50 , but records can be deceiving in the NBA. The Knicks rank fourth defensively in limiting attacking rim attempts and fourth in three-point shooting efficiency, giving them multiple avenues to generate offense. The visiting team has dominated this matchup recently, winning the last three games by an average of 17 points and sweeping all five meetings against Memphis . The Grizzlies will need to overcome significant roster constraints to keep this game competitive. Memphis leans heavily on post-up shots, ranking third in that category, and plays at a quick tempo , but the team is ravaged by injuries with Ja Morant, Zach Edey, Santi Aldama, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Ty Jerome, and Scotty Pippen Jr. all sidelined. The hosts struggle defensively, allowing the most three-point attempts and ranking 24th in defensive rebounding , making them vulnerable against a Knicks squad that thrives on perimeter shooting. New York's 21-19 road record and 116.5 points per game average suggest they have the firepower to put pressure on a depleted Memphis team throughout the evening.
