The new Kevin Durant road show plays Memphis for the first time this season Saturday night when the Golden State Warriors face the Memphis Grizzlies.Both teams will take impressive winning streaks into a rematch of the 2015 Western Conference semifinals, which was won 4-2 by the Warriors en route to the championship.The Warriors have fashioned a 13-1 road record since adding Durant via free agency over the summer.They began a rough seven-day, five-day trip with wins over the Los Angeles Clippers (115-98) and Utah Jazz (106-99) on Wednesday and Thursday, giving them four wins in a row overall and eight in succession on the road since losing to the Los Angeles Lakers more than a month ago (Nov. 4).Not surprisingly, the Warriors lead the NBA in several offensive categories in road games, including points per game (115.2), field goal percentage (48.5) and assists (30.8).Durant has helped lead the way, averaging 24.8 points on 53.4-percent shooting on the road.Alas, Durants history in Memphis as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder wasnt nearly as successful. He was held under 20 points in two of his most recent five visits, with the Thunder losing three of those five games.The Grizzlies will take a five-game winning streak into Saturdays game. All five of the wins have come by five or fewer points -- the first time a team has fashioned that kind of streak since the 2009-10 season.And Memphis has done it without Mike Conley (back), Chandler Parsons (knee) and Vince Carter (hip), all of whom have been out with injuries.Marc Gasol led the way for the Grizzlies in their winning streak, scoring more than 25 points in four of the five games while shooting 50 for 98 overall and 10 for 20 on 3-pointers.Memphis has won nine of its 13 home games this season, allowing only 97.9 points per game on 43.1-percent shooting.The Warriors have triumphed in their last three visits to Memphis despite never having scored more than 107 points. They did so by holding the Grizzlies to 84 points twice and 99 the other time.The clubs played a 100-99 nail-biter in the Warriors last visit in April. Thats exactly the type of game the Grizzlies would like Saturday.After all, theyve already won a whopping 10 games by five or fewer points this season.In fact, theyve prevailed in their last 12 contests that either went to overtime or were decided by five or fewer points.I wish I could tell you, Gasol admitted to reporters Thursday night when asked if he could explain the impressive run in close games. We just keep fighting. Youve seen it many games now where we just dont let go of the rope.Several opponents have let go of the rope early against the Warriors, whose eight-game road winning streak includes five wins by 16 or more points, and just one in a game decided by five or fewer.Golden State has begun beating teams so regularly on the road, the hometown fans havent enjoyed their recent visits.My first year was kind of a surprise and everybody seemed to love us, Warriors coach Steve Kerr, discussing his teams reception on the road, told reporters Thursday in Utah. Now maybe its changed a little bit. It honestly makes no difference to us.

Matthew Suckling looms as the Western Bulldogs hard-luck story for the AFL grand final as they named an unchanged side.The weeks selection intrigue will continue until the final teams are confirmed on Saturday afternoon, with Sydney naming co-captain Jarrad McVeigh and Rising Star winner Callum Mills to return from injury.Sucklings continued omission means the Bulldogs will have no players in their 22 on Saturday with grand final experience.The last team without any experience in the premiership decider was St Kilda, when they lost the 1997 grand final to Adelaide.Suckling was left out of their preliminary final side because of an Achilles problem.But it also emerged later he did not play against the Giants because of team balance.The two-time Hawthorn premiership player joined the Bulldogs this season under free agency and had played 17 games, including their elimination and semi-finals.Bulldogs ruckman Jordan Roughead will need medical clearance on Friday before he is a confirmed selection.Roughead suffered an eye injury when a ball was kicked into his face during last Saturdays preliminary final win over the Giants.He trained on Thursday and at this stage is expected to play.After an injury-ravaged season, the Bulldogs have had the rare luxury of naming an unchanged side.Suckling and Lin Jong were added to ttheir emergencies for the grand final, joining Tom Campbell - the obvious choice to replace Roughead if he is a late withdrawal.ddddddddddddJong has made a remarkable comeback after suffering a broken collarbone in the elimination-final defeat of West Coast.He furthered his selection claims last Sunday when he was best afield in Footscrays VFL grand final triumph.There were also reports that Bulldogs defender Dale Morris had to do some extra training during the week.But the Dogs have been adamant Morris will play against the Swans.With McVeigh and Mills recalled, first-year defender Harry Marsh was the unlucky omission.The 22-year-old had played seven senior games this year, including the last four.Fellow defender Aliir Aliir was already ruled out on Wednesday because of the knee injury he suffered last Friday night in the preliminary final win over Geelong.Mills suffered a hamstring injury in the qualifying-final loss to the Giants and McVeigh hurt a calf as they beat Adelaide in the following weeks semi-final.McVeigh said before last Friday nights game that he was only a couple of days away from being fit to play.Marsh, Harry Cunningham and Toby Nankervis are the Swans emergencies.
