Grizzlies vs Clippers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Grizzlies listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Grizzlies have looked really good in their games this season with their 35-17 record overall which has them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have been a decent road team too with their 14-11 road record. Meanwhile, the Clippers have looked good in their games this season with their 29-23 record overall which has them in the top half of the West and in the last playoff spot at the moment. They have looked a lot better on their home court this year with their 18-10 home record, but they haven't looked great lately. They are coming off a win over the Jazz in their last one, but the Jazz are one of the worst teams in the NBA this year and the Clippers are only 5-5 in their last 10 games. They have been great defensively this season, but they have struggled against stronger opponents and the Grizzlies have one of the best offenses in the NBA, averaging 123.5 PPG. The Grizzlies aren't in a great situation here since they are playing this game on a back-to-back with a game against the Suns on Tuesday, but the Grizzlies are also healthy right now and have been tough to stop when they aren't missing players. They have a lot of talented players on the bench that can pick up the slack and they have been really hot lately with their 8-2 record in their last 10 games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Grizzlies to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
"This is my first time seeing them since they became good. Obviously it's learning for me. For us as a whole, of course. After the game, pretty much just talking with each other, we know what we've got to do. We lost by whatever we lost by and we weren't ourselves the whole night. So that's a positive for us." - Ja Morant after their loss against the Thunder in their game on Saturday.
“T-Mann, we sit on the plane together, you know what I mean? He sits right next to me literally, so we just talk about everything. And then Bones is somebody that I’ve grown closer with, in the sense of just trying to mentor him and teach him the business.” - James Harden on Terance Mann and Bones Hyland being traded away.
