Betting on the Memphis Grizzlies
- Season record: 28-13
The young and talented Grizzlies team continues to bring joy to their fans night after night, in a season in which they have been one of the main entertainers of the league, and who are currently fighting neck to neck for the top of the Western Conference with the Denver Nuggets. The team cannot afford any slip if they do not want to lose ground in that fight.
The squad led by Taylor Jenkins arrives to this game with a fantastic eight-game winning streak, after sweeping the San Antonio Spurs in a two-game mini-series. The last one ended in a 129-135 score,where Ja Morant had another outstanding performance converting 38 points.
That high level of Morant’s play is what has led the Grizzlies to be the sixth best team in the league offensively and with an average of 116.8 points scored per game. In addition to all that was previously mentioned, the team has not forgotten to take care of the issues they had on their defense either, as they have a decent average of 111.8 points allowed per commitment.
Betting on the Indiana Pacers
- Season record: 23-19
Although they have not had as an impressive year as their rivals have, the Pacers have been one of the most pleasant surprises of the season, displaying a more than decent level, that has helped them not only to get into the playoffs, but also to fight for a place in the top six of the Eastern Conference.
Getting a positive result in this game will not be easy for the Indiana team. However, the team will surely have the confidence to fight until the end, given that they have performed best at home. The have attained 15 of their 23 victories playing at home, and that has earn them a 15-7 record in the process.
Like the Grizzlies, the offense has been crucial for the Pacers this campaign, averaging 115.6 points scored per game, a figure that improves to 118.5 points when they are playing at home. However, the team has not been able to achieve better results due to a defense that is among the most deficient in the league, averaging 115.7 points allowed per game.
JefeBet Prediction
Even as a home team, the Pacers are still a very permissive team on defense, and in this game, their chances of improving on that aspect are slim, given that they will arrive to this clash after playing on the previous night. In back to back games they have allowed an average of 116.1 points allowed.
Those problems will precisely be the ones that the Grizzlies, led by Morant, will be looking to take advantage of, as they will have a couple of extra days of rest. However, it should be kept in mind that the Pacers have been a very solid team when playing at home. There, they have also displayed a great offensive level.
Almost always, playing on consecutive nights takes its toll, so we expect the Grizzlies to be able to continue an offensive pace that has seen them score more than 120 points in their last five outings. However, we also expect the Pacers to put up a fight with their productive offense.
Prediction: Over.
