Betting on the Memphis Grizzlies
- Regular Season Record: 36-23.
The Memphis Grizzlies hosted the Los Angeles Lakers yesterday and now must they travel to visit one of the worst teams this 2022-23 season has left. Despite being the favorite team on paper due to the great difference between the two, the Grizzlies have not performed well away, having lost 18 of the 29 matches they have played so far.
However, when playing on consecutive days, the team has not fared badly, winning 4 games and losing the same amount. Moreover, the Grizzlies team has won the 2 most recent meetings in this pavilion, scoring at least 120 points in each of those games.
Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Regular Season Record: 13-47.
The Houston Rockets’ schedule has them facing two high-caliber teams on consecutive days, hosting the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday and now the second-place team, which are the best franchises in a conference they have not fared well.
Even the home venue has not been in Houston’s favor, losing 20 of the 28 games the team has played so far at the Toyota Center. This is nothing to be surprised about, as we are talking about the second-worst offensive team that averages 109.7 points per game.
Still, the issue does not stop there, as there is nothing positive to say about the team’s defense, which maintains an average of 118.3 points per game, the fourth-worst record in this area.
JefeBet Prediction
Houston has lost 8 of the 9 games it has played on consecutive days, a negative performance that should make it rethink many things for next season.
On the other hand, Memphis is on a negative streak of 8 away losses in a row, which has prevented it from closing the gap with the Denver Nuggets despite maintaining a good performance in offense (115.9) and defense (111.9).
Still, it is expected that Memphis performance will prevail on Wednesday and that it will return to its winning ways on the road.
Prediction: Memphis Grizzlies Spread.
