Memphis has dropped five straight coming into today and, while they are fifth in the West standings, there is still some slim chances they could fall out of the playoffs if they continue to lose. They have a 4-game lead on Houston, who is in the ninth spot. Orlando has been playing somewhat well, winning and covering in three of its last four games, despite being out of the playoff mix. Memphis is struggling right now, but they have to feel a sense of urgency. Especially against a team that’s not playing for anything right now. Memphis should at least be able to keep this competitive.
