Thunder at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 115, Grizzlies 95

Moneyline

The Thunder (-500) are too expensive to take straight up. Bet into 1 of the less-juiced markets that are -110 on both sides.

PASS.

Against the spread

Oklahoma City is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings against Memphis, covering the spread by an average margin of 13.6 points per game over that span.

The Grizzlies are far too injured to keep pace with the 2nd-ranked team in offensive efficiency in the Thunder; they were on the verge of getting 20’d by the shorthanded Hornets last time out.

BET THUNDER -10.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Overs were cashing at an impressive rate for the Thunder from Feb. 2-23 (7-0 O/U), but the market has adjusted, and Unders have now gone 5-2 in Oklahoma City’s last 7 games.

The Thunder held up their end of the bargain in Sunday’s meeting, scoring 124 points, but it was the Grizzlies who helped the Under cash with a disappointing 93-point performance. I expect more of the same Saturday.

BET UNDER 219 (-110).

Prediction

Wizards 107, Grizzlies 101

PASS.

There is more value on the Wizards (-135) spread.

Against the spread

BET WIZARDS -2.5 (-105).

The Wizards have won and covered in back-to-back games including a massive road win on Sunday over the Heat. They face a Memphis team that is devastated with injuries and just 7-25 at home this season. Memphis has lost and failed to cover in back-to-back games including a 31-point blowout on Sunday. With no usual starters, the Grizzlies offense has stalled scoring 93 points or fewer in each of their last 2 games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 220.5 (-115).

Washington has hit the Under in 4 of its last 8 games. It has scored 112 or fewer points in 3 straight and 6 of its last 9 while holding opponents to 108 or fewer points in back-to-back games. Memphis has scored 101 points or less in 7 of its last 9 and has failed to hit the Over in 6 of its last 10 including back-to-back games.

Memphis Grizzlies at Oklahoma City Thunder odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Oklahoma City Thunder odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies (22-42) and Oklahoma City Thunder (44-19) meet Sunday. Tip-off from Paycom Center is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Thunder odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Thunder lead 1-0

The Grizzlies, who were 3.5-point underdogs, snapped a 2-game winning streak with a 99-92 loss vs. the Atlanta Hawks Friday as the Under (215) hit. F Jaren Jackson Jr. scored a team-high 21 points, and F Jake LaRavia and F Vince Williams Jr. added 14 each.

The Thunder have failed to cover in 3 straight games after winning 107-100 vs. the Miami Heat Friday with the Under (226.5) cashing in Oklahoma City. G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 23 second-half points — he had 37 on the night — but it wasn’t enough for his side to cover as an 8.5-point favorite.

In a Dec. 18 meeting, the Thunder covered as 10.5-point home favorites with a 116-97 victory over the Grizzlies as the Under (228.5) hit. Gilgeous-Alexander led Oklahoma City with 30 points in 3 quarters.

Grizzlies at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 120, Grizzlies 110

Moneyline

The Thunder (-1200) will likely win, but it’s easier to beat markets that are -110 on both sides.

PASS. Look to the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

The Thunder were covering machines from Feb. 11-25, reeling off 6 straight ATS wins. However, it seems the market has finally caught up to Oklahoma City and is possibly overvaluing it.

The Grizzlies are bad, but Oklahoma City is in no shape to be laying 14.5 points at home.

BET GRIZZLIES +14.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Overs aren’t hitting at the same rate in Oklahoma City games as they were before — 8-0 from Feb. 2-23 — but they’re still 3-1 in the Thunder’s last 4 after the Under cashes in their previous outing. I’m not off of the Thunder-Over train, and this total is low enough that I’m willing to play it Sunday.

BET OVER 219.5 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies (22-41) welcome the Atlanta Hawks (28-34) to FedExForum Friday. Tip is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Hawks vs. Grizzlies odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Grizzlies lead 1-0

The Grizzlies won at the Philadelphia 76ers 115-109 Wednesday, covering as a 4-point underdog. Memphis has won 2 in a row after snapping a 5-game losing streak. Memphis has covered 7 of its last 10 games and is 31-32 against the spread (ATS) on the season. It has failed to cover 3 straight at home.

The Hawks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 112-101 Wednesday, covering as a 3-point home favorite. It was the Hawks’ 2nd win and cover in a row, but they are 2-2 straight up and ATS in the last 4. They are 7-5 ATS in the last 12, but are a poor 21-41 ATS on the season. G Trae Young leads Atlanta with 26.4 points per game.

Hawks at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 111, Hawks 107

Moneyline

LEAN GRIZZLIES (+122).

Memphis F Jaren Jackson Jr. returned after missing 3 games with an injured quad and finished with 30 points and 11 rebounds in Wednesday’s win vs. the 76ers. It was the Grizzlies’ 2nd straight road victory. They upset the Brooklyn Nets 106-102 Monday as 10-point underdogs. Memphis has won 4 of its last 9 as well. While that doesn’t seem great, the Griz are just 22-41 on the season.

The Hawks have lost 2 of their last 4 and 5 of their last 9. In those 9, they are 1-3 on the road and 0-3 on the road against Eastern Conference teams that aren’t in playoff position.

Atlanta’s struggles should continue, so BACK MEMPHIS (+122).

Against the spread

PASS.

The home side moneyline is the better team-specific play here. PASS on taking the spread … unless you really prefer the insurance of taking the points of Memphis +3 (-112).

Over/Under

BET OVER 215 (-110).

The Grizzlies have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games and have allowed at least 107 points in 3 of those. While Jackson Jr. is a strong defender, he has been a great source of offense, averaging 22.6 points per game.

Atlanta may be without Young, but players like G Dejounte Murray should be able to pick up the slack and continue to push the pace. Atlanta is 33-29 O/U on the season.

Considering the trends for both teams, TAKE OVER 215 (-110).

Grizzlies at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 111, Grizzlies 107

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on Philadelphia (-250) to beat this injury-ridden Memphis squad that is 3-7 in its last 10 games.

Against the spread

LEAN GRIZZLIES +6.5 (-115).

Memphis is 6-4 ATS in its last 10 games, including 2-1 ATS in its last 3 on the road. While it is dealing with injuries to a majority of the team, Memphis has played a high level of defense, which will help keep it within striking distance of Philadelphia.

Philly is 4-6 ATS in its last 10 games, including 0-4 ATS in its last 4 as a favorite. It’s 1-4 ATS in its last 5 overall and has covered at the same clip in its last 5 home games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 211.5 (-110).

While both teams have struggled offensively and play strong defense, 211.5 is too low of a line to be confident in the Under. The Grizzlies have allowed 107 or more points in 7 of their last 10 games, while the 76ers have scored at least 120 in 2 of their last 3 and allowed at least 109 in 9 of their last 10.

Season series: Brooklyn leads 1-0 with a 111-86 win in Memphis on Feb. 26

Memphis suffered a 107-100 OT loss at the hands of the Portland Trail Blazers Saturday while failing to cover as a 2-point home favorite. The Grizzlies only scored 17 points in the 4th quarter and 5 points in overtime. Memphis has lost 5 consecutive games.

Brooklyn picked up a 114-102 win over the Atlanta Hawks Saturday while covering as a 1-point home underdog. Brooklyn was led by G/F Mikal Bridges and his 38 points in the win. The Nets have won back-to-back games and sit at 3-1 in their last 4 outings.

Grizzlies at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 106, Grizzlies 100

Moneyline

PASS.

The Nets (-370) should come away with the win, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.

Against the spread

LEAN GRIZZLIES +8.5 (-106).

Memphis has covered the spread in 7 of its last 9 matchups vs. Brooklyn and covered the spread in its last away contest. Both teams are under .500 ATS. The Grizzlies are 29-32 ATS, while the Nets are 27-30-3.

Memphis is actually better on the road (13-17) than at home (7-24), so the Grizzlies have a solid chance to compete here.

This is only a lean because Brooklyn is slightly hotter ATS recently.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 210.5 (-108).

The Under has hit in 6 of Brooklyn’s last 7 games and is 8-2 in Brooklyn’s last 10. The Under is also 33-26-1 for the Nets this season. For Memphis, the Under hit in 3 of its last 5 outings and is 34-26-1 this season. The Under also hit in the last Grizzlies-Nets matchup and is 3-1 in the last 4 matchups in Brooklyn.

This is a lean because recent O/U battles have been even for the Grizzlies and in recent Memphis-Brooklyn matchups.

Trail Blazers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 112, Trail Blazers 106

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies are just a tad too expensive on the moneyline to prefer it over the spread. Back the home team’s spread here.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -2 (-112).

The Grizzlies had 21 turnovers and shot 59% from the free throw line Friday. Both of those are unlikely to be repeated at home Saturday. Meanwhile, Portland shot 52% from the field.

Memphis is down the bulk of its star players, but it has won 2 of its last 4, which is more than Portland can say. The Grizzlies have covered well and should bounce back Saturday.

The Blazers have lost 5 of their last 6 games by double figures and should return to struggling as they continue their road trip. Back GRIZZLIES -2 (-112).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 208 (-110).

The Blazers have gone Over in 4 of their last 6 games and have allowed at least 121 in 3 of those 6. The Grizzlies have gone Over in 2 straight and are 7-3-1 O/U in their last 11.

While both teams have many key stars out, neither has defended well lately. Memphis has allowed at least 110 in 5 of its last 6 games. Expect a similar showing and back OVER 208 (-110).

The Grizzlies have covered well as of late, but they are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite. Similarly, the Trail Blazers have been awful over the last few weeks, but they have had success covering on the road. Portland is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 road games.

The Grizzlies are down too many key players with their top 4 scoring options all sidelined in this game. Expect them to struggle and take the slight-healthier road underdog.

Back TRAIL BLAZERS +3 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 208.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies have gone in 6 of their last 10 games. They are 6-3-1 O/U in those 10 and have scored at least 110 points in 4 of those. They have allowed at least 110 in 4 of their last 5, so the Grizzlies defense has struggled throughout the last few weeks.

The Blazers have gone Over in 3 of their last 5 games, allowing at least 120 points in 3 of their last 5. Neither is defends at a high level, which should bode well for points in this game. Take OVER 208.5 (-110).

Mavericks at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 121, Grizzlies 108

Moneyline

PASS.

There are better odds playing the Mavericks spread in this matchup.

Against the spread

BET MAVERICKS -2.5 (-110).

Until the Grizzlies can prove otherwise, especially down Morant, Kennard, and Adams, backing the Mavs is the right play. Doncic and Dallas have played great in 2 games with Doncic making his mark all over the stat sheet. While they failed to cover as 6-point favorites in their last game, the Mavs covered as 4.5-point favorites in their only road game this season.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 227.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies have opened up the season scoring 104 points twice and 108 points while the Mavericks have scored 126 and 125 points. Without Morant, Memphis has not identified who will hold down the offense.

On the flip side, Doncic and company have been firing on all cylinders offensively. Expect the Over to hit for the 3rd straight time for Dallas with the Mavs carrying the bulk of the scoring.

New Orleans Pelicans at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s New Orleans Pelicans at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies welcome the New Orleans Pelicans to the FedExForum Wednesday for the 2023-24 season opener. Tip is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Pelicans vs. Grizzlies odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; teams split 4 games last season with each winning twice at home

The Grizzlies will open their season at home without G Ja Morant, who has been suspended 25 games. Memphis ended 2nd in the Western Conference last season at 51-31, including 35-6 at home. The Grizzlies will be led by G Desmond Bane, who averaged a career-high 21.5 points per game (PPG) last season. Memphis was 39-47-2 against the spread (ATS) last season.

New Orleans was 39-42-2 ATS last season and ended the season 42-40 straight up, good for 9th in the West. F Zion Williamson is expected to be healthy to start the season. He played just 29 games last season, but averaged 26 PPG when he did play. F Brandon Ingram averaged a career-high 24.7 PPG last season.

Pelicans at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 118, Grizzlies 114

Moneyline

BET PELICANS (-110).

The Pelicans have the star power to go into Memphis and come out on top. They have 3 players in their starting lineup who averaged more than 20 points per game last season while the Grizzlies have just Bane with those credentials. New Orleans high-level playmaking should give them an edge.

The Pelicans were 17-12 with Williamson in the lineup last season as well. They should have the size and skill advantage over a short-handed Grizzlies team that is missing Morant and 2 key front court pieces.

Take PELICANS (-110).

Against the spread

PASS.

Take the stress out of it if the game is close and take the moneyline over the spread here.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 227.5 (-110).

The Pelicans have top-tier offensive talent with a trio of 20-point scorers; however, they lack defensively. Couple that with the Grizzlies, who ranked 8th in pace, and the tempo should aid scoring as well.

Both teams ranked in the top 10 in offensive rebounding rate, so there should be plenty of 2nd-chance opportunities. Put the 2 together and take OVER 227.5 (-110).
