The Grizzlies are coming into this game with a 39-18 record overall and they are 19-9 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 7 of their last 8 games and are coming into this one on a 4 game winning streak after another win in their last game. Their last loss was against the Philadelphia 76ers while their 7 wins in that span came against the San Antonio Spurs, the Utah Jazz, the Washington Wizards, the New York Knicks, the Orlando Magic, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Detroit Pistons in their last game. Ja Morant led the team in points in that game with 23 while Desmond Bane was next on the team with 22 points. Morant also led the team in assists in that game with 6 while Steven Adams led the team in rebounds with 14. They were 47.8% from the field, 50% from 3-point range, and 69% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 113.4 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 108.5 PPG against them. The Grizzlies have an ATS record of 38-19 this season and their O/U record is 29-25-3.

 

 

The Hornets are coming into this game with a 28-28 record overall and they are 14-12 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. Their last win was against the Los Angeles Lakers but they have gone on a 6 game losing streak since then with losses coming against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Boston Celtics, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Miami Heat, the Toronto Raptors, and the Chicago Bulls in their last game. They still have a game against the Detroit Pistons on Friday night that needs to be played first with that result still pending so this will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for them on Saturday night. In their game against the Bulls, LaMelo Ball led the team in points in that game with 33 while Miles Bridges was next on the team with 22 points. Terry Rozier led the team in assists in that game with 6 while Mason Plumlee led the team in rebounds with 11. They were 42.6% from the field, 30.2% from 3-point range, and 69.6% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 113.3 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 114.3 PPG against them. The Hornets have an ATS record of 31-25 this season and their O/U record is 26-29-1.

 

 

The Grizzlies are coming into this game after winning 4 straight games and they have been smashing teams all season as they have become one of the best teams in the NBA this season. They have been on a roll losing very little games ever since their star players came back from injuries and have been staying healthy. They have won 6 of their last 7 games and all 6 of those wins were by double digits, their last 3 wins were all by over 20 points as well. They are facing a Hornets team that has lost 6 straight games and have been struggling to get a win as they have not even been close, losing their last 3 straight by double digits. The Grizzlies are just too strong for the Hornets and the Grizzlies are not a team to step in front of with how well they have been playing recently. Ja Morant will keep playing at a very high level and he should help lead his team to another easy win here. The Grizzlies will continue to roll in their games here while continuing the Hornets current spiral.

"I think we've got a few things to clean up on the defensive end, but our offense is playing at such a high level that we are still able to win games. When we've got things going like this, it gives us all a chance to get some rest and watch the show.” - Ja Morant on their win against the Pistons on Thursday night.

 

 

"We have to keep their legs fresh and their minds fresh. We're not going to go out and shoot 200 more 3s tomorrow (in practice) and it will change this. We just have to believe that once this thing turns we will get back to where we need to be." - James Borrego on his team’s loss against the Bulls on Wednesday night.
