Grizzlies at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 130, Kings 120

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies (-120) should win, but there is no need to pay the extra juice on the moneyline when Memphis should win by margin. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -1.5 (-105).

Despite losing 2 straight, Memphis is still one of the best teams in the league and has played well in Sacramento recently. The Grizzlies should come out prepared vs. the Kings after underestimating the Suns Sunday and losing a very winnable game. Memphis is 4-2 ATS on the 2nd night of a back-to-back and should be able to get a statement win vs. a Kings team that may start regressing toward the mean. Lay the points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 246.5 (-105).

This is a high number, but both teams are top 5 in points per game this season and have been hitting the Over on similar totals. The Over is 8-2 in Memphis’ last 10 games and 2 of the totals that went Over were set at 240 points or higher. These teams tend to play high-scoring games vs. each other in Sacramento, with the Over hitting in 5 of the last 6 meetings, and Monday’s matchup should be another offensive showcase.

Memphis Grizzlies at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies (3-1) visit the Sacramento Kings (0-3) at Golden 1 Center Thursday. Tip is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Kings odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies come into this game off a 134-124 beatdown of the Brooklyn Nets Monday as 1-point favorites. Their other wins were by 3 points over New York Knicks to open the season and by 7 over the Houston Rockets Friday. Memphis lost to the Dallas Mavericks by 41 in between the Houston and Brooklyn victories.

Memphis is led by MVP candidate G Ja Morant. Morant is averaging 35.3 points per game and has scored 38 or more points in 2 of the 4 games. F Jaren Jackson Jr. has remained sidelined and is likely to remain so until early 2023.

The Kings have struggled to start the season and lost to the Golden State Warriors 130-125 Sunday, coving as 10-point underdogs. They also have a 2-point loss to the Los Angeles Clippers and a 7-point loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on their resume.

Sacramento is led by star G De’Aaron Fox, who is averaging 31.7 points per game and is shooting 59.4% from the field. First-round pick F Keegan Murray is 2nd on the team with 17.5 points per game on 54.2% shooting.

Grizzlies at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 118, Kings 116

Moneyline

PASS.

This line seems like a trap as the 3-1 Grizzlies (-165) are clearly the better team. However, the Kings have kept games close this season, and I’d rather back them on the spread.

Against the spread

BET KINGS +3.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies have the league’s 24th-best net rating following their 41-point loss to the Mavericks. The winless Kings have taken on the defending champs and still sit 20th.

Memphis’ defense has taken a major blow this season with Jackson out, and will struggle on the road against a team that will look to push the pace and has been able to keep games close.

The Kings rank 11th in effective field goal percentage and are 7th in defensive rebounding rate which should limit what was a key strength for the Grizzlies last season.

Sacramento is the more rested side and at home, both of which should aid its ability to keep this game close.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 235.5 (-105).

The Grizzlies haven’t played well defensively this season, but Fox shooting 59% from the field is not a realistic percentage to sustain. The Kings are not the 11th-best shooting team in the NBA and should regress.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have actually slowed the pace this season, ranking 19th in the NBA. Expect a slow game and at least some shooting regression.

The Grizzlies are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now. They have won four straight games and nine of their last 10. G Ja Morant has been out for all 10 of those games. He missed time with a knee injury and now is in health and safety protocols.

Grizzlies at Kings odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 115, Kings 101

Money line

The Grizzlies are the hottest team in the league right now, even without their best player.

The Kings’ roster is decimated by an outbreak of COVID-19. Between health and safety protocols and injuries, six players have been ruled out or are doubtful to play. Sacramento has struggled against good teams and Memphis is a good team.

Take the GRIZZLIES (-240).

Against the spread

Memphis is fourth in the league at 18-11 ATS this season. They have covered the spread in eight of their last 10 games.

The Kings are 1-3 ATS in their last four games and 7-13 ATS in their last 20 games.

Take the GRIZZLIES -5.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Grizzlies are 4-6 O/U and have allowed just 95 points per game across their last 10 games.

The Kings have had seven of their last 11 games go Over the projected total and five of their last six have had totals of 224 or more.

However, with so many players out and the Grizzlies holding opponents to so few points, take UNDER 221.5 (-112).

Memphis Grizzlies at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Sacramento Kings NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Sacramento Kings (12-13) host the Memphis Grizzlies (10-11) Sunday at Golden 1 Center. The tip-off is set for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Grizzlies-Kings NBA odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Memphis’ injury issues have caused a bit of a slide as the Grizzlies lost five of their last seven games to start February. Their defense has regressed this month and is dead-last in opponent’s effective field-goal shooting (eFG%) and 24th in opponent’s FTA rate.

The Kings have dropped two straight after winning four consecutive games to start the month. Sacramento PG De’Aaron Fox has been amazing this month, averaging 31.6 points and 9.0 assists in his five games in Feb. He missed the Kings’ previous game against the Orlando Magic which they lost 123-112.

Sacramento was 3-1 against Memphis last season and has won and covered the spread in five of the last six head-to-head meetings.

Grizzlies at Kings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Kings 123, Grizzlies 116

Money line (ML)

The Kings have a slightly better winning percentage because they are slightly better as a team. Sacramento shoots much better from the field (9th in eFG%, Memphis is 20th) and gets to the charity stripe at a much higher rate (sixth in free-throw rate, Memphis is 30th).

Fox’s availability is crucial information before wagering on this game. He balled out last season against the Grizzlies, scoring 25.0 points per game on 54.5% field-goal shooting (52.6% from deep) with a 126 offensive rating in four games.

I’d have to pass if Fox cannot play because Memphis has been terrible recently and I’m not betting on the Grizzlies until they get healthier. If Fox can play, I lean SACRAMENTO (-105) on the money line only because I could see an outright Kings win being a little too pricey so I’d just take them to cover the spread.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the spread because if Fox can play then the Kings are probably -130 to -140 on the money line and I’d rather bet that than fuss with the points.

If the money line goes above -140 that means Fox is active, the market is hammering the Kings because of that news and then Sacramento laying points becomes the play. The bottom line is you either bet the Kings or pass on the sides.

Over/Under (O/U)

TAKE the OVER 228.5 (-115) for 1 unit because these teams are like mirror images of each other and the closeness of their profiles equals an exciting, high-scoring affair.

Three of the four Grizzlies-Kings meetings last season went Over the total and Memphis has gone Over the total in four straight. Sacramento has a 4-1 O/U record as a home favorite this season.
