(SportsNetwork.com) - Before the Memphis Grizzlies hit the road for the majority of February, they will close out January versus the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday at FedExForum. The Grizzlies are scheduled to play three straight and seven of the next nine games away from home and will put a five-game winning streak on the line Saturday night. The Grizzlies recorded a 99-69 demolition of the Denver Nuggets Thursday, as Zach Randolph muscled his way to 15 points and 17 rebounds. Randolph has recorded a double-double in 11 straight games and has 27 on the season. Jeff Green netted 13 points, while Marc Gasol added 10 points and seven rebounds for Memphis, which has won nine of its last 10 games and led by as many as 33 in the fourth quarter. Defensively, I thought we have taken another notch, Gasol said. Memphis, which improved to 20-5 at home, has held its last five opponents under 100 points. The Grizzlies are 20-7 against teams from the West. Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley (wrist) is questionable Saturday and has missed back-to-back games. Conley is averaging 17.4 points and 5.6 assists. Veteran Vince Carter (foot) is doubtful versus the Thunder. The Thunder have lost three of their last four games after winning four in a row, and will try to get back on track Saturday night. Kevin Durant has missed back-to-back games with a toe injury and is questionable against the Grizzlies. In a 100-92 loss at New York, Carmelo Anthony scored 31 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the Knicks. Russell Westbrook poured in 40 points and made all 12 of his free throws to pace the Thunder. Reggie Jackson scored 13 points off the bench and Serge Ibaka added 10 and 10 rebounds for Oklahoma City, which made 40 percent from the floor and turned the ball over 14 times for 20 New York points. We just gave them too many opportunities, Westbrook said. They got a lot of offensive rebounds. (We) made some mistakes defensively. The Thunder fell to 9-16 this season when Durant misses a game. Thunder guard Dion Waiters (ankle) is probable Saturday. OKC is 10-16 on the road and will return home to host the Orlando Magic on Monday. Oklahoma City lost the first of four meetings with Memphis by a 91-89 score on Nov. 7, as Conley scored 20 points. Jackson had 22 in that one for the Thunder, who were without Durant and Westbrook. The Thunder and Grizzlies will meet again Feb. 11 and April 3.

Ken Whisenhunts decision to accept Tennessees opening leaves Cleveland as one of just three NFL franchises still searching for a head coach. Whisenhunt, who guided Arizona to a Super Bowl, came close to being hired by the Browns last year and interviewed with the team on Saturday. San Diegos loss on Sunday in the AFC playoffs freed up teams to make offers to Whisenhunt and he chose the Titans after it appeared he was headed to Detroit. Its not known if the Browns tried to outbid the Titans for the well-regarded 51-year-old. With Whisenhunt no longer in the mix, the Browns moved into the third week of their quest to replace Rob Chudzinski without any clear front-runner, but with a new former NFL head coach on their list. The team has interviewed at least five known candidates and the Browns reportedly met Monday with former Titans coach Mike Munchak, also in consideration with the Lions. The 53-year-old Munchak, a Hall of Fame lineman, went 22-26 in three seasons with the Titans, who fired him on Jan. 4, ending his 30-plus-years association with the franchise. Clevelands degree of interest in Munchak isnt known since the team is not commenting on any interviews and Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner have maintained a low profile since dumping Chudzinski after one season. And while there may not be a current favourite to take over as Clevelands seventh full-time coach since 1999, there are signs that Denver offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase could be the Browns top choice. The 35-year-old Gase was the first candidate contacted by the Browns, but he informed them -- along with the Minnesota Vikings -- that he wanted to wait until after the playoffs to be considered. "I told both teams that were interested in me that I appreciated it and I was going to wait until after our season had concluded," Gase said on Jan. 3. "They were great about it. They said they appreciated me being up front and honest about it, and I thought that was the best decision for whaat we are trying to accomplish with our team.dddddddddddd" Its not known if Gase has agreed to an interview with either team. NFL rules prohibit teams from offering jobs to assistant coaches who are still in the playoffs. Gases decision to delay any interviews raised some flags about whether hes actually ready to be a head coach. But as long as hes paired with quarterback Peyton Manning, Gases profile will continue to grow and hell undoubtedly be coveted if he waits another year. Following Denvers win on Sunday over San Diego, Manning praised Gase during his postgame news conference for his play calling in helping the Broncos advance to Sundays AFC Championship against New England. In his first season as Denvers offensive co-ordinator, the Broncos scored an NFL record 606 points and led the league with 457.3 yards per game and 340.3 yards passing. His resume is impressive, but even if the Browns meet with Gase, its not a given he will be hired. Hes never been a head coach, and Haslam and Banner said they were determined to find a "strong winner who knows how to win football games" as they began looking for their second coach in just over a year. If the Browns chose to wait on Gase, they run the risk of the coaching talent pool drying up and being in a desperate situation should he turn them down. Cleveland has waited until after the Super Bowl before. Following the 2004 season, the Browns hired Romeo Crennel in the hours after the Super Bowl. The Browns are already losing a public relations war as the search has dragged on. After New England offensive co-ordinator Josh McDaniels withdrew his name from consideration for Clevelands opening last week, it heightened the perception that Cleveland is not an attractive job. It hasnt helped that some national reports have described the Browns situation as "toxic" and "radioactive." Haslam and Banner have also interviewed Seattle defensive co-ordinator Dan Quinn, Arizona defensive co-ordinator Todd Bowles and Green Bay quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo.
