Advice and prediction
These two sides are trending in opposite directions. As the Hornets continue to improve on a game-to-game basis, the Grizzlies are playing without their star sophomore Ja Morant. While Tyus Jones is a more-than-worthy replacement in the starting lineup, he’s no Morant.
The line doesn’t feel quite like it’s adjusted to Morant not being available and the Hornets seemingly turning a corner. Charlotte should be the easy favorite here based on the last two games and Hornets -4.5 is the best bet.
Prediction: Charlotte 110, Memphis 98
