Betting on the Memphis Grizzlies
- Regular Season Record: 31-17
The Grizzlies have had a very difficult week, losing some ground in the fight for the top of the Western Conference due to a tough five-game away series. In this stretch, they have lost the first four games, which makes them currently be in second place in the standings, but already 2.5 games behind their goal.
The most recent of its downfalls came last Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors.In that game, the team went into the final quarter with an advantage on the scoreboard, but lost that quarter 24-32 to end up registering a 120-122 defeat. Ja Morant gave an outstanding performance in which he scored 29 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.
While their season has been great, their away performance has not been able to live up to the expectations. The team has a 12-13 record in that condition, and while the Grizzlies have managed to perform decently on offense, with about 114.2 points scored per game, their defense has struggled a lot, averaging a total of 115.8 points allowed per game.
Betting on the Minnesota Timberwolves
- Regular Season Record: 25-25
Meanwhile, the Timberwolves seem to have been going in circles for quite some time now, as they have managed to balance their record on more than one occasion, but quickly fall back to below .500. However, this time they will have the opportunity to take a step forward and finally end that cycle.
Also, there is no better way to do it than playing at home. Indeed, that is where they have had their best success this campaign, with a record of 16-10 and an average of 117.7 points scored per game. The Timberwolves are led by Anthony Edwards, who has been the team’s catalyst since Karl-Anthony Twons suffered an injury. Edwards averages 24.3 points, 4.4 assists and 1.80 steals per game..
Moreover, an away win over the Pelicans should give them more confidence to record a positive result in this Timberwolves vs Grizzlies game. In the game against the Pelicans, they managed to bounce back from a poor first half to take a 111-102 win, led by a spectacular Anthony Edwards, who scored 37 points.
JefeBet Prediction
Even against a team that on paper is weaker than them, the Grizzlies have had many difficulties to be able to record positive results away from home. Still, they are a very strong team on offense, with players like Morant or Desmond Bane, so they will surely know how to hurt a poor Timberwolves defense, which averages 116.8 points allowed per game at home.
Edwards might be close to Morant’s level, but he’s surrounded very differently. This is important to take into account considering that the Grizzlies are one of the best collective units in the league, and that it shows on both offense and defense.
The Grizzlies are going through a tough stretch, but they are a team with grit and the talent to pull things off, so we expect this to be a close game, but we are confident that Memphis will come away with the win.
Prediction: Memphis Grizzlies Spread.
