On January 1, the basketball franchises continue to write their story, and among the games to watch is the Kings vs Grizzlies clash. The NBA season provided us with a great number of games during the last two months of 2022, and the best part of the campaign is still to be played in 2023.
The level of the NBA’s Western Conference has been surprising us, as the first seven positions have been very hard fought, despite the fact that it is not where the teams with the most victories are. For this Kings vs Grizzlies game, both teams have already shown to have the ability to excel, and this encounter, which is the third between the two this season, could be a great show to watch.
The Sacramento Kings vs Memphis Grizzlies preview from JefeBet tells you how these teams arrive to this game. Here you can also find the odds and the predictions for this interesting clash.

Betting on the Sacramento Kings
- Season record: 18-15.
The Sacramento Kings are showing a lot of inconsistency this month of December, as they have not been able to create streaks, instead, they have been alternating between positive and negative results. These ups and downs have prevented the team from positioning itself in a better place in the Western Conference, where it is still one of the teams with a ticket to the playoffs. There is still a lot at stake, and the California team will have to be active at the beginning of the year in order not to lose ground.
The Kings is the team with the fewest games played in the Pacific Division, so there is still hope that it can get back on its feet. The team achieved an important victory against the Denver Nuggets in the middle of the week, and before the end of the season, it must face the Utah Jazz in order to try to get to the game against Grizzlies with two consecutive victories.
Betting on the Memphis Grizzlies
- Season record: 21-13.
The Memphis Grizzlies, without reaching perfection, are achieving important things in the Western Conference, being the third best team in the overall standings. During the first two weeks of December, the Tennessee franchise was playing at a fairly high level and it had managed to attain seven consecutive victories.
Now, it has been facing an uneven stretch, with only two wins in six games played. However, the team expects that to change at the beginning of the year. In their last game played in 2022, they will face the New Orleans Pelicans to try to reach 2023 with two wins in a row.
JefeBet Prediction
The Kings and the Grizzlies have already met twice this season, and they have won a game each. Sacramento was able to put an end to Memphis’ four-game winning streak, but based on the way the two teams have played so far, it is safe to assume that the Grizzlies will get back to their winning ways in this first game of 2023.
Prediction: Memphis Grizzlies win by 7 points.
