The Memphis Grizzlies’ vibes are high as they begin a four-game homestand.
First up for the Grizzlies (5-0) is a matchup against the Sacramento Kings (0-5) on Oct. 31 (7 p.m. CT, DAZN-MEM) at FedExForum.

Memphis is the only remaining unbeaten team in the NBA. A win against the Kings would tie the Grizzlies’ 2014 franchise record of winning six consecutive games to start a season.
Sacramento (0-5) is going in the opposite direction. The Kings are one of two remaining winless teams in the NBA.
The Grizzlies still could be in store for a difficult matchup. Guards Ty Jerome (upper back soreness) and Scotty Pippen Jr. (lower back soreness) are questionable to play against Sacramento. Center Quinten Post is also doubtful due to a right ankle sprain.
This is the second meeting between the Grizzlies and Kings this season. Memphis won 123-112 on Oct. 25.
