Betting on the Memphis Grizzlies
The Grizzlies have had a very good campaign and have quietly taken the top spot in the Western Conference, mainly because a stellar eight-game winning streak, in which they have not only kept producing well, but have also managed to be very strong defensively.
The last of these victories came at home against the Milwaukee Bucksin a game in which they dominated from start to finish. They looked totally superior to their rivals, and ended up beating them 101-142 with the help of an inspired Ja Morant, who in only 25 minutes of play recorded a triple-double of 25 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds..
That current positive streak has led the Grizzlies to become the owners of the league’s sixth-best offense with an average of 116.5 points scored per game, while on defense they are averaging a decent 111.3 points allowed per game.
Betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder
For their part, the Thunder team has done all they can, and while it has had stretches of very good performances, it has not helped the team to boast a positive record. The team is currently in thirteenth place in the West, just 2.0 games behind the bottom, which is currently occupied by the Spurs and the Rockets.
Oklahoma has done well offensively, averaging 115.5 points per game, thanks to a Shai-Gilgeous Alexander who is among the league’s top scorers with an average of 31.0 points scored. However, things have not been the same defensively, where they are the third worst team in the NBA with an average of 117.4 points allowed.
JefeBet Prediction
Although their results are not the best, the Thunder at least have been able to be a competitive team, especially when they are at home, a status in which they have a 6-6 record. However, they will have a tough task being effective against a defense that has been working hard after having played the day before.
As if that were not enough, the Thunder’s poor offense will also have to compete with the Grizzlies’, which is in an impressive offensive momentum, and which has a Morant player who is playing at a stellear level.
Having an extra day of rest will also be a big advantage for the Grizzlies, who usually play at a high pace, and with which a tired Thunder team will probably not be able to keep up with. Therefore, we expect the Grizzlies to be the ones to prevail in this encounter and take a comfortable win in their visit to the Thunder.
Prediction: Memphis Grizzlies Spread.
