Memphis Grizzlies Betting Preview
The Memphis Grizzlies have endured a rough start to the season, but they’ve made the most of an easy stretch in their schedule to pick up three wins from their last four outings. The Grizzlies’ last game in particular was a thriller as the Grizzlies beat the Pelicans by 133-128 in overtime on Wednesday. Jaren Jackson Jr led the team with 27 points, Jaylen Wells added 25 points on nine of 11 shooting, Zach Edey scored 21 points with 15 rebounds and two blocks on 10 of 15 shooting while Santi Aldama chipped in with 14 points off the bench. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 54 percent from the field and an efficient 17 of 37 from the 3-point line as they dominated the second half by 69-54 to overcome an early 17-point deficit. They took the momentum into overtime where they held the Pelicans to just six points to escape with the gritty road win.
Los Angeles Clippers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 11 of their last 13 games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting trampled by the Lakers in a 135-118 road defeat on Tuesday. James Harden led the team with 29 points and nine assists on nine of 21 shooting, Kawhi Leonard and Kris Dunn each scored 19 points while John Collins chipped in with 18 points, but no other player scored more than 10 points. As a team, the Clippers shot 52 percent from the field and 13 of 35 from the 3-point line as they battled the Lakers to keep the margin within single digits until the fourth quarter where the Clippers allowed 37 points. They just had no answer for the Lakers’ Luka Doncic who scorched them for 43 points.

Memphis v Los Angeles Free Prediction
The Grizzlies are still missing some players with Brandon Clarke, Ja Morant, Scotty Pippen Jr and Ty Jerome all out, while the Clippers have ruled out Bradley Beal, Derrick Jones Jr and Bogdan Bogdanovic. The Grizzlies have really been doing it tough so far this season as they’ve been dealing with injuries since opening night. However, they’ve looked much better over the past week or so to win three of four games against some soft competition.
The Clippers are in a similar situation as they too have been plagued by injuries, but they’ve won just two of their past 13 games. They haven’t been able to get anything going despite some great play from James Harden, who is averaging 32.4 points over his last five games. The Clippers open as favorites at home, but you couldn’t back either side with any confidence these days, so I will take any points I can get. The Grizzlies come into this game as the team in better form and I think they can keep it going with a minor upset against this slumping Clippers team.
