Grizzlies and Knicks collide at MSGBasketball Betting Lines02/27/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Memphis Grizzlies have been a bit of a Bipolar team recently. Lionel Hollins' club has dropped six straight on its home floor but will be shooting for its fourth straight road victory in historic Madison Square Garden tonight against the New York Knicks. Shooting for just the fourth playoff berth in franchise history, Memphis is now 3 1/2 games behind Portland for the eighth and final postseason spot in the West after its latest loss as the host, a 93-89 setback to Charlotte last night. The Bobcats' Stephen Jackson poured in a game-best 32 points and pulled down a season-high 11 rebounds in that one. Ex-Knick Zach Randolph finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who have lost 10 of 14 overall. Rudy Gay tallied 20 points and five rebounds. O.J. Mayo and Mike Conley chipped in 14 and 13 points, respectively, for Memphis, which hasn't won at FedExForum since February 1 versus the Lakers. "We can't settle for where we were at. We have to get back to what we were doing in January and December when we were winning games," Conley said. They have been winning as the visitor, however, compiling wins over Toronto, New Jersey and Washington over the last week and a half. The Grizz haven't won four in a row away from Memphis since Jan. 1-19, 2005. The Knicks, meanwhile, snapped an ugly eight-game skid last night with an 118-116 overtime win in Washington and will now be attempting to stop a five-game slide at MSG. David Lee's layup with 1.6 seconds remaining in the extra frame on Friday helped New York edge Washington. Lee finished with 25 points, 16 rebounds and five assists for the Knicks, who hadn't won since February 3 against the Wizards at Madison Square Garden. Al Harrington made five three-pointers en route to a game-high 37 points off the bench for New York. This is the first meeting between the two clubs this season. New York swept the home-and-home season series a year ago.
