Memphis Grizzlies Betting Preview
The Memphis Grizzlies have been playing some of their best basketball of the season so far, as they’ve won seven of their last 10 games overall. They are hoping to bounce back here after falling just short to the Jazz in a 130-126 loss on Friday. Santi Aldama led the team with 22 points, Ja Morant added 21 points with 10 assists, Cam Spencer added 20 points on six of six shooting off the bench while Jaylen Wells chipped in with 19 points. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 46 percent from the field and 19 of 41 from the 3-point line as they poured in 64 points in the first half to take an early 12-point lead. However, they let themselves down in the third quarter, where they allowed 42 points to trail the rest of the way.
Los Angeles Clippers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers have been in a major slump, as they’ve lost 17 of their last 20 games overall. They will be hoping to arrest a three-game slide after getting beaten by the Rockets in a 115-113 road defeat on Thursday. Ivica Zubac led the team with 33 points on 13 of 14 shooting, Kawhi Leonard added 24 points, nine rebounds and four assists while James Harden tallied 22 points with seven assists. As a team, the Clippers shot 50 percent from the field and 14 of 38 from the 3-point line. This was good enough to hang with the Rockets in a close contest that remained within single digits, but they just couldn’t get back in front after losing the lead at the start of the fourth quarter.

Clippers vs Grizzlies Prediction
The Grizzlies are still missing Brandon Clarke, Javon Small, John Konchar and Zach Edey, while the Clippers have ruled out Bradley Beal again with James Harden and Nicolas Batum both listed as questionable. The Grizzlies are slowly getting players back from injury, and they’ve turned things around with seven wins from their past seven games. Meanwhile, the Clippers have continued their horrid form, but were more than competitive in a narrow loss to the red-hot Rockets in their last outing. I get why the Clippers are favorites at home given the talent they have on paper. They weren’t that far from beating the Rockets in their last outing, but with the injury cloud hanging over Harden, I will back the Grizzlies to pull off the minor upset in this spot.
