Key Stats
Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies are coming off a double-digit loss against the Los Angeles Clippers, 128-114. Despite the loss without their superstar Ja Morant, Desmond Bane had a solid game with 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. He also shot 6/11 from three. Jaren Jackson Jr. had a subpar game with only 13 points, and 6 rebounds, and was in foul trouble the majority of the night. The Memphis Grizzlies are currently sitting in 2nd place in the Western Conference with a record of 36-18. They have been one of the surprise teams in the NBA this season.
Defensively, this is one of the best teams in the NBA. They are currently ranked 22nd in points allowed per game, 3rd in opponent field goal %, 6th in opponent 3-point field goal %, 3rd in blocks per game, 6th in steals per game, and 2nd in rebounds per game. In terms of injuries, Ja Morant is currently listed as questionable for this game with the knee injury that kept him sidelined in their last game. Over their last ten games, Memphis has a record of 7-3, including 6-4-0 against the spread.
Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers are coming off an overtime win against the Washington Wizards, 134-130. Obi Toppin was excellent in the win with a 31-point and 10-rebound performance. Bennedict Mathurin was great as well. He finished the game with 28 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and a team high +21. Despite his inefficiency, Tyrese Haliburton was solid with 20 points and 7 assists. With a record of 30-23, Indiana currently sits in 4th place in the Eastern Conference. Depending on their playoff matchup, this team could shock some people.
Defensively, this is an above-average team. They are currently ranked 21st in points allowed per game, 22nd in opponent field goal %, 18th in opponent 3-point field goal %, 11th in blocks per game, 10th in steals per game, and 28th in rebounds per game. In terms of injuries, Myles Turner is probable to play in this game. He was sidelined with a concussion that kept him sidelined in the Pacers’ previous three games. In their last ten games, Indy has a record of 6-4, including 3-7-0 against the spread.
Prediction
The Memphis Grizzlies are going to defeat the Indiana Pacers in this game and cover the 2-point spread in this game. The Grizzlies, along with being one of the best defenses in the NBA, are also one of the best offenses in the league. They rank in the top five in points per game, field goal %, and assists per game. I expect Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. to dominate this game. Yes, the Pacers can space the “big” lineup that the Grizzles have, but it won’t matter in this game. Lastly, in their last matchup, Memphis won the game 136-121. The Grizzlies roll the Pacers in this spot.
Final Pick
Memphis Grizzlies -2 (-110)
