Everyone knows that the National Basketball Association (NBA) Western Conference is pretty tight right now and the favorite of the Eastern Conference will try to see just how tough one of them is.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will test the Marc Gasol-led Memphis Grizzlies in what should be an interesting encounter.

Lebron James will hopefully be a lot better by this one with some help from Kevin Love who may be in for a long night.

But, of course, he has able backup. There is the return of Tristan Thompson, Sasha Kaun, and Timofey Mozgov to help out in the front. It won't be easy though, seeing the Gasol and Zach Randolph combo being a hard duo to predict and stop.

While defense could become a problem for the Cavs, they are certainly not running short on the offensive end. James can opt to take it from the outside or drive (with caution). Love can do both as well, while others wait if they are lucky enough to be open. In all, the Cavs are a pretty tough team to stop.

On the other end, the offensive production of the Grizzlies will be interesting as well. While Gasol and Randolph are expect to make a living inside, the snipers need to deliver. They do have the edge in the point guard for this one, with Kyrie Irving still out while new recruit Matt Barnes will likely try to check James yet again.

Both teams are entering this season with pretty much intact lineups which should make it hard to call. But then again when one team has a James and a Love, the safe bet is for the Cavs to pull off this one. That, of course, depend on how healthy and ready the two are.

The Memphis Grizzlies will host the Cleveland Cavaliers today, Oct. 28, at the FedExForum in Memphis, which could be an advantage on their end.

Game time is set at 8 p.m. EST, with the match being televised via Fox Sports. The game can be watched live via stream as well here.
