Memphis Grizzlies at Utah Jazz odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Utah Jazz odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies (0-4) will go up against the Utah Jazz (1-3) on Wednesday at Delta Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Jazz odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; split last season’s series 2-2

The Grizzlies fell short of covering the spread (-1) and the Over (223) hit in their 125-110 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. Memphis has lost 4 consecutive games to begin the season, and 3 of those games were played at home.

The Jazz were defeated by the Denver Nuggets 110-102 on Monday, covering as 9-point road underdogs and connecting on Under 226 points. Dating back to last season, Utah has now lost 8 of its last 10 contests.

Grizzlies at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 117, Jazz 113

Moneyline

I believe Memphis will get on track soon amid Morant’s suspension, so I’ll back the GRIZZLIES (+110) on the road. Even with the Grizzlies missing some depth pieces due to injury, they have a talented team that is better than their record indicates.

While Memphis is 27th in offensive rating through 4 games, Utah is dead last in defensive rating to begin the season.

Against the spread

GRIZZLIES +2.5 (-115) is the play in this matchup considering I have Memphis securing the victory. Even if the Grizzlies don’t come away with their 1st win of the season, they should keep it close against a young Jazz squad.

Utah is 2-7-1 ATS against Memphis in the last 10 meetings.

Over/Under

OVER 223.5 (-110) is the lean in this showdown as both teams are top 15 in pace. The trio of G Desmond Bane, F Jaren Jackson Jr., and G Marcus Smart are enough to produce a decent number of points against the Jazz.

Meanwhile, the Jazz just need other guys to step up alongside F Lauri Markkanen. The Over is also 8-2 in the last 10 meetings between Memphis and Utah.

Memphis Grizzlies at Washington Wizards odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Washington Wizards odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies (0-2) will travel East to take on the Washington Wizards (0-1) Saturday at Capital One Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Wizards odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting of 2023.

The Grizzlies are on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back following a 108-104 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Friday in which they covered as 5.5-point home underdogs. The Under of 222 also cleared as G Desmond Bane struggled to the tune of 15 points on 4-for-17 shooting.

The Wizards suffered a 143-120 defeat to the Indiana Pacers Wednesday, failing to cover as 4.5-point road underdogs and hitting the Over of 235. Following the trade of G Bradley Beal, Washington is leaning on a duo of F Kyle Kuzma and G Jordan Poole this season.

Grizzlies at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 119, Wizards 110

Moneyline

Despite losing 2 straight games to begin the season, I’ll back the GRIZZLIES (-115) on the road in Saturday’s contest. Bane should have a bounce-back performance for Memphis and G Marcus Smart should limit Poole’s effectiveness on the other end of the court.

Against the spread

GRIZZLIES -1.5 (-105) is the play as this spread would be even bigger if Memphis wasn’t on a back-to-back. The Wizards aren’t going to be a contender this season, while the Grizzlies are trying to stay afloat until G Ja Morant comes back from a suspension.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 227.5 (-115).

This wager is entirely predicated on how abysmal Washington’s defense looks like it is going to be this season. The Wizards surrendered 143 points to the Pacers Wednesday, and the Grizzlies still have a handful of capable scorers sans Morant.

It is an extremely small sample size, but the Wizards played at the fastest pace Wednesday and the Grizzlies are playing at the 11th-fastest pace through 2 games.

Denver Nuggets at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Denver Nuggets at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Denver Nuggets (1-0) face the Memphis Grizzlies (0-1) on Friday at FedExForum. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Nuggets vs. Grizzlies odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting of 2023; Nuggets won last season’s series 2-1

The Nuggets cruised to a 119-107 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on opening night, covering as 5-point home favorites, and the Under (229.5) also hit. C Nikola Jokic led the way for Denver against Los Angeles, recording 29 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists.

The Grizzlies failed to cover as 1-point home favorites and the Under (224) cleared in their 111-104 defeat to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. Memphis is going to need time to adjust to not having G Ja Morant or C Steven Adams available in the starting lineup.

Nuggets at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 114, Grizzlies 107

Moneyline

While the Nuggets are favored to beat a shorthanded Grizzlies team on the road, I’ll PASS on their moneyline in this game. Backing a team at -210 odds isn’t worth the risk given the minimal return you’ll receive if they win.

Against the spread

NUGGETS -5.5 (-110) is the ideal play in this matchup as the defending champions are fully healthy early in the season. The Grizzlies will struggle to slow down Jokic without Adams on the floor, and the Nuggets still boast one of the deepest rosters in the league.

The Nuggets have covered the spread in 3 of the last 4 meetings against the Grizzlies.

Over/Under

With the Grizzlies missing a few key pieces, UNDER 223.5 (-110) is the lean in this contest. The Nuggets are still playing at 1 of the slowest paces in the NBA (tied for slowest pace after 1 game) and they limited the Lakers to only 107 points on opening night.

Both of these teams hit the Under in their 1st games of the season. Also, the Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between Denver and Memphis.

Memphis Grizzlies at Milwaukee Bucks odds, picks and predictions

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

The Memphis Grizzlies (50-30) visit the Milwaukee Bucks (58-22) on Friday at Fiserv Forum. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Bucks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies failed to cover as 6.5-point road underdogs in Wednesday’s 138-131 overtime loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. A Memphis win, or Sacramento Kings loss, will lock the Grizzlies into the 2nd seed in the Western Conference.

The Bucks defeated the Chicago Bulls 105-92 Wednesday as 5-point home favorites. Milwaukee is locked into the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, so starters will likely sit for the final 2 games of the season.

This will be the second meeting between the Grizzlies and the Bucks this season. Memphis won 142-101 as a 3-point favorite and the Over (226.5) connected in the first meeting on Dec. 15.

Grizzlies at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 119, Bucks 110

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Bucks (+250) are going to be without all 5 of their starters, but it remains to be seen who gets run for the Grizzlies (-300) given they are unable to reach the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.

Against the spread

GRIZZLIES -7.5 (-110) is the lean in this game under the assumption that G Ja Morant, G Desmond Bane, and F Jaren Jackson Jr. get their normal run. The Bucks won’t have 6 players that are in their usual rotation and the Grizzlies won by 41 points in the 1st meeting.

Memphis is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings with Milwaukee dating back to 2020.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 226.5 (-110).

Even with the uncertainty of who is going to play on Friday, I’ll take the Over. The Grizzlies have allowed 114 or more points in 6 of their last 10 games and the Bucks aren’t going to have their usual premier defenders on the floor.

The Over is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings between these teams in Milwaukee.

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

The Memphis Grizzlies (50-29) visit the New Orleans Pelicans (40-39) on Wednesday at Smoothie King Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Pelicans odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 119-109 on Tuesday, but failed to cover as -18.5-point home favorites. Memphis is 2 games behind the Denver Nuggets for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.

On Tuesday, the Pelicans failed to cover as 4-point home favorites in their 121-103 loss to the Sacramento Kings. New Orleans is 1 game back of the Los Angeles Lakers for the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference.

The Grizzlies and the Pelicans will meet for the 4th time this season. Memphis won 2 of the 1st 3 meetings and the Under went 1-2.

Moneyline

PASS.

Even though I have the Pelicans coming away with a narrow win, I don’t hate taking the Grizzlies’ moneyline at the current odds (+180) with Memphis still having an outside chance to get the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.

Against the spread

GRIZZLIES +5.5 (-110) is the choice in this important Western Conference matchup. There’s a chance Memphis wins outright, while it’s hard to see New Orleans winning by 6-plus points.

The Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

Over/Under

OVER 228.5 (-110) is the lean in this contest with both teams playing for playoff seeding. This is a pace-up game for the Pelicans and the Over is 4-2 in the last 6 meetings.

Dallas Mavericks at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Dallas Mavericks at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dallas Mavericks (36-35) take on the Memphis Grizzlies (43-27) Monday at FedExForum. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Mavericks vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Mavericks edged out the Los Angeles Lakers 111-110 Friday, covering as 4-point road underdogs. Dallas has won only 4 of its last 10 games.

The Grizzlies covered as 2-point home underdogs in their 133-119 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. Memphis has won 5 of its last 6 games.

This will be the fourth and final regular-season meeting between the Mavericks and the Grizzlies. Memphis won the last two meetings — both in March — while Dallas won the October game. Dallas is 2-1 against the spread and the total is 1-2 O/U.

Mavericks at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 116, Mavericks 111

Moneyline

While Doncic could return for the Mavericks, give me the GRIZZLIES (-135) at home as they could widen the gap in the Southwest Division with a win.

Against the spread

GRIZZLIES -2.5 (-108) is how I’d bet the spread as Memphis is 29-5 at home this season compared to Dallas’ 14-22 record on the road. Even without Morant on the floor, the Grizzlies continue to find ways to win. With such a short spread they have a good chance at the cover if they’re able to pick up the outright victory.

The Grizzlies are 21-12-1 ATS at home this season, while the Mavericks are 15-20 ATS on the road.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 229.5 (-110).

Doncic and Irving could be active on Monday, but the Under has connected in 2 of the first 3 meetings between these teams this season. The Mavericks are also 6-1 to the Under in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record, and the Grizzlies are 6-0 to the Under in their last 6 against a team with a winning record.

Grizzlies at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 117, Grizzlies 109

Moneyline

AVOID.

Despite Denver’s impressive 28-4 record at home this season, I wouldn’t advise taking the Nuggets to win at -190.

Against the spread

BET NUGGETS -4.5 (-115).

Once again, the Nuggets are 28-4 at home, and they haven’t lost at home with C Nikola Jokic in the lineup since Dec. 6th. Denver is also 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games overall.

Over/Under

Even though this is a matchup of the best teams in the Western Conference, UNDER 233.5 (-110) is the pick here. Both teams are in the top half of the league in defensive rating and allow a combined 224.4 points per game.

The Grizzlies are 13-3-1 to the Under in their last 17 games overall, and the Under is 27-11 in the last 38 meetings.

The Lakers impressively came back from a 27-point deficit to cover as 4.5-point road underdogs in their 111-108 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. Los Angeles has won 3 games in a row and is half a game back from the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference.

The Grizzlies covered as 3-point home favorites in Saturday’s 112-94 win over the Denver Nuggets. Memphis has gone 5-5 in its last 10 games despite being the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.

The Lakers and the Grizzlies are meeting for the 2nd time this season. LA covered and won as 7-point underdogs 122-121 on Jan. 22 and the 243.5 Under connected.

Lakers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 116, Lakers 111

Moneyline

AVOID.

While the Grizzlies should secure the win at home, the Lakers are more equipped to play without James on the floor following the trade deadline and the profit would be minimal if Memphis wins.

Against the spread

BET LAKERS +9.5 (-118).

Even with the Lakers not having James available, they still are expected to have Davis, F Jarred Vanderbilt, G Malik Beasley, and G Dennis Schroder. The Lakers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record and the Grizzlies are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

Over/Under

Even with these teams being top 6 in pace this season, James being sidelined will likely slow the game down, making UNDER 231.5 (-115) the pick in this matchup. The Lakers are 5-1 to the Under in their last 6 games overall and the Grizzlies are 6-1 to the Under in their last 7 home games.

Utah Jazz at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Utah Jazz at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Utah Jazz (29-30) square off against the Memphis Grizzlies (34-22) on Wednesday at FedExForum. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Jazz vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Jazz beat the Indiana Pacers 123-117 on Monday to cover as 1-point road favorites. Despite the win over Indiana, Utah is just 5-5 in its last 10 games.

The Grizzlies failed to cover as 3-point road underdogs in a 119-109 loss to the Boston Celtics Sunday. Memphis has posted a 3-7 record in its last 10 contests.

This is the fourth and final meeting between these teams this season. The Jazz covered the spread as underdogs in each of the first 3 meetings — winning 2 of them outright — and the Over connected twice.

Jazz at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 120, Jazz 115

Moneyline

AVOID.

Taking the Grizzlies at the current odds (-320) isn’t advised with the minimal profit you’ll receive with a win.

Against the spread

JAZZ +8.5 (-115) is an enticing wager at such a massive spread with Utah being good ATS this season. The Jazz have covered the spread in each of the first 3 meetings against the Grizzlies this season — all as underdogs — and they’ve won 2 of those outright.

The Jazz are 13-7-1 ATS in their 21 games this season as road underdogs. On top of that, Utah is also 3-0-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings against Memphis.

Over/Under

Even with these teams both being in the top half of the league in pace, UNDER 238.5 (-110) is the lean in this matchup.

The Grizzlies are 8-1 to the Under in their last 9 games following a loss and 4-1 to the Under in their last 5 home games against a team with a losing road record.
