The Core 4 is back to bring you one last gift: a brand-new episode. The guys open the show breaking down the Memphis Grizzlies' loss to the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day. Xavier calls the loss embarrassing and Dave wonders if this is just another game out of 82 or if this loss means something more significant. In Embrace Debate, the guys discuss whether or not the Grizzlies can win on the road come playoff time. Memphis is 7-10 on the road this season and went 1-4 in their most recent road stretch. Is the one seed more important to Memphis than any other Western Conference contender? In X&O's Matt asks the tough questions about Memphis' rotation. Should David Roddy be getting more playing time? Is it okay to bench a struggling starter? Who will be left out come playoff time? Dave wants a major shakeup to the starting lineup.

Matthew Gill is back filling in to bring you your gambling preview for the Memphis Grizzlies game tonight in Denver. Gill opens the show by discussing the spread and total. The Grizzlies are a two-point road favorite which is scaring Gill off the spread but the stats tell us the Under 235.5 is the play on the total. Gill continues that theme covering the first quarter lines as well as a few player props. Could foul trouble keep Jaren from going over his totals? Dillon Brooks has been scoring at a high clip in recent weeks but his point total has become inflated and Gill looks at his under as well. But somebody has to score for Memphis and that man is Ja Morant. Gill finishes the show with his official card with all his favorite plays for tonight and a Same Game Parlay.

Xavier is back this week to host the Core 4. In the intro, Matt defends his position on trading Tyus Jones this summer after catching some heat from last week's episode. In their first segment, the guys Embrace Debate on whether or not Jaren Jackson Jr. and Dillon Brooks have a case to make this year's All-Star game. Ja Morant is a lock but what will it take for the Grizzlies to get a second All-Star? The west is loaded with talent but with some stars slated to miss time due to injury, there could be a path for one to make up ground in the conversation. In the Hot and Cold segment, Dave says the tanking race is heating up with teams like Utah and San Antonio returning to Earth after their more competitive starts to the season. Matt has an eye on the MVP race with an incredible performance from Nikola Jokic. As for what's cooling off? The Grizzlies' trap game performances, and the Lakers' and Warriors' injury problems. The NBA announced their regular season awards would be renamed after legends of the game. Da

After a 41 point win against one of the best teams in the NBA on Thursday, the Grizzlies sent a message to the rest of the league that they are serious contenders come playoff time.

Matt praises Jaren's defensive performance while Dave says it's another ho-hum win for Memphis. In the first segment, Matt and Dave cover last week's news about Desmond Bane's injury. Bane was reevaluated for his toe injury and it was announced he will miss another 3-4 weeks. Dave believes his shooting ability is a huge loss for Memphis and Matt worries it will be hard for him to regain his shooting rhythm once he returns from injury. In Kleiman Corner, Dave discusses the rumor that Cam Reddish is available from the Knicks for just a second-round draft pick. Is he worth a swing for the already deep Grizzlies? Matt lays out why trading Tyus is actually the key to Memphis winning a title. He has proven he is a starting-caliber point guard in this league and other teams may come calling. Later, Matt and Dave discuss the upcoming schedu

The Core 4 is back to recap the Grizzlies' 101-93 win over the Miami Heat in the intro. Without several of their top players, Memphis came away with an impressive short-handed win on the second night of a back-to-back. In the first segment, the guys cover the Grizzlies’ league-worst free throw shooting numbers. In “This League”, stories abound. Rudy Gobert was ejected from a game for tripping an opposing player while Trae Young is feuding with his head coach. Dave wonders if this affects their standing in the league as individual players and their teams as a whole. With the return of Desmond Bane and Zaire Williams on the horizon, the Grizzlies see light at the end of the injury tunnel. To close the show, Xavier gives out Jaren Jackson Jr.’s career-high stats he has posted since returning from off-season foot surgery.
