Memphis Grizzlies Betting Preview
The Memphis Grizzlies have gone cold lately as they’ve lost four of their last five games overall, and they will be hoping to snap a three-game slide after getting thrashed by the Clippers in a 128-108 road defeat on Friday. Jaren Jackson Jr led the team with 23 points, Santi Aldama added 16 points with seven assists, while Scotty Pippen Jr and Luke Kennard scored 15 points each. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 42 percent from the field and 19 of 49 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in control when they poured in 66 points in the first half to take the lead into halftime. But they could never recover after getting outscored 36-16 in the third quarter, where the Clippers started to take over. The Grizzlies will take on the Thunder after this game.
Utah Jazz Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in terrible form as they’ve lost 12 of their last 13 games overall, and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting embarrassed by the Cavaliers in a 120-91 home defeat on Sunday. Kyle Filipowski led the team with 18 points and 13 rebounds, Johnny Juzang added 12 points off the bench, while Collin Sexton chipped in with 10 points. As a team, the Jazz shot just 36 percent from the field and 16 of 50 from the 3-point line as they got off to a decent start and worked hard to trail by just six points going into halftime. Before they got blown out by an incredible 69-46 in the second half. Keyonte George had a rough game as he shot just one of seven for his eight points off the bench, while Cody Williams scored just three points on one of nine shooting.

Jazz vs Grizzlies Prediction
The Grizzlies are still missing Ja Morant, Marvin Bagley, and Brandon Clarke, while the Jazz have rued out Lauri Markkanen, and they are keeping an eye on Jordan Clarkson, who is questionable for this one. The Grizzlies have been playing well below their best lately, and they just got routed by the Clippers in their last outing, but I think they will appreciate the drop in competition that a matchup with the slumping Jazz provides. Both teams are missing so many key players, but the Grizzlies are just so much better at playing short-handed. The line is hefty, but I like the Grizzlies to pull away and earn a much-needed blowout win to steady their season.
