Rio Grande Valley vs. Memphis

SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (Interstat) — The Rio Grande Valley Vipers and Memphis Hustle will complete a brief two-game series Friday night at the DeSoto Civic Center, just two days after a high-scoring affair.

The Vipers (2-2) edged the Hustle (3-4) 130-125 on Wednesday in the first leg of the back-to-back. Rio Grande Valley’s Teddy Allen led all scorers with 36 points, while Kevon Harris added 25 points and eight rebounds. Daishen Nix recorded a near triple-double with 22 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists.

Memphis, which has lost three of its last four games, was led by Charlie Brown Jr.’s 23 points in the loss. Tyler Burton contributed 15 points and nine rebounds.

The Hustle will look to defend their home court and even the season series, while the Vipers aim for a second consecutive win to move above .500. According to Interstat’s game simulator, Rio Grande Valley is projected to win 121-100.

Friday’s contest is the final home game for Memphis before a two-game road trip starting Nov. 25 at Oklahoma City. Rio Grande Valley will continue its road swing with a pair of games at Austin on Nov. 23 and 24.
