The Memphis Grizzlies will visit the Sacramento Kings at Golden One Center on Friday night.

After starting the season as one of the league's top teams, Memphis (16-15) has slowed down considerably in the last two weeks. The team is just 1-6 over its last seven games, and its offense has been the league's worst since mid-November. Memphis ranks just 29th in scoring at 101.9 points per game and has eclipsed the 100-point mark just once in its last ten games. The Grizzlies' offensive play has left much to be desired across the board, as the team ranks last in the league in offensive rebounding and just 28th in three-pointers made. A bright spot, though, has been rookie Jaren Jackson. Jackson is shooting over 50 percent from the field on the season and is averaging 12.8 points per game in just 25.3 minutes of action. He tallied 16 points for Memphis on Wednesday evening.

Sacramento (16-15), too, has found itself in a tough spot recently. The Kings have gone 1-3 in their last four games, most recently losing in a blowout to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. Some regression was to be expected for the young Kings squad, which owns just the 15th-best offensive rating and 23rd-best defensive rating in the league. Still, there is plenty for Sacramento fans to smile about, as the young back court duo of De'Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield continue their breakout seasons. On Wednesday, Hield scored 37 points and Fox recorded 28 points to go with 12 assists in the team's loss. The budding stars will hope to help their team reverse its fortunes on Friday.
