Bulls vs. Grizzlies: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Spread Info and More

The surging Chicago Bulls hit the road to face the Memphis Grizzlies, hoping to extend their win streak to six games.

Memphis, on the other hand, is looking to win three straight games for the first time all season. 

These two teams met earlier in the year, and the Bulls absolutely destroyed the Grizzlies, 104-64. Memphis hopes to avoid a blowout this time around, and playing at home should help. 

However, Chicago is playing better than anyone in the league right now, and that doesn't bode well for Memphis. 

With that said, let's get to some specifics for this NBA showdown.

What's at Stake? 

For the Bulls, this is a chance to show they're still dominant. Having demolished the Grizzlies earlier in the year, a close game today wouldn't bode well for Chicago. Since it is an easier opponent, they may opt to take it easy though and not play some players as much since the Bulls also play tomorrow. 

For the Grizzlies, this afternoon is a shot at redemption. Memphis was embarrassed by Chicago on New Year's Day; now, the Grizzlies get a chance to show the hometown fans they can compete with one of the best teams in the NBA. 

Chicago Player to Watch 

Derrick Rose is always the play to watch for Chicago. He leads the team in scoring and assists and should put on quite a show against Memphis today. 

Whenever he is on point, the Bulls' chances of winning are sky high. Should he have an off game, others must step up, but that's only happened to him once this season, and it's doubtful it will occur against the Grizzlies. 

Memphis Player to Watch 

Marc Gasol had a rough time against the Bulls in their first meeting, but his big body does pose a threat for Chicago. 

With Randolph out, the pressure for Gasol to play well keeps rising. The 7'1", 265-pound center has to be on his A-game plus some if the Grizzlies want a chance to pull the upset.

He's averaging a double double, and if he fails to record that like he did the first time, Memphis is doomed. 

Prediction 

Knowing they can easily beat the Grizzlies, the Bulls won't put forth much effort in the early going. This will allow Memphis to keep it close, but in the end, Chicago will pull away with no problem. 

The Bulls are too talented to drop a game to Memphis, and their win streak will live on. 

Bulls 96, Grizzlies 82
