Grizzlies drop six straight by 15-plus in 2025-26

Memphis has lost six games in a row by at least 15 points, with an average margin of -26.3, and nothing in the schedule suggests that changes on its own.

6straight losses by 15 or more

The Grizzlies have lost six straight games by 15 points or more. That streak is current through their last game, on April 12, 2026, in the 2025-26 season.

Six blowout losses in a row is not one bad night. It is a pattern. The average margin over that stretch is -26.3 points, which means these are not close games that slipped away late. They are decided early and stay decided.

For this streak to hold, Memphis needs to keep losing by double digits. That takes some combination of a defense that cannot stop opponents in the first half and an offense that cannot punish teams once they pull ahead. For it to change, the Grizzlies need one game where they stay within single digits into the fourth quarter. That is the first sign a losing streak like this starts to break.

With the 2025-26 season running 82 games, six straight losses by 15 or more is a big enough sample to matter. It is not a two-game slump. It is six results in the same direction, all lopsided, all recent.
