The Memphis Grizzlies (18-11) go for five consecutive wins facing the Sacramento Kings Friday at Golden 1 Center (9 p.m., Bally Sports Southeast). The Grizzlies won the first meeting 128-101 on Nov. 28 at FedExForum.
The Kings (12-17) will be shorthanded with interim coach Alvin Gentry in health and safety protocols along with six players.
Dillon Brooks and Desmond Bane’s combined 24 fourth quarter points helped the Grizzlies push past the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
