2024-12-27 02:00

NBA

odds 1.73

In the 36 games played against each other, the Toronto Raptors have got the upper hand with 21 wins. The last season, they won away against Memphis (116:111) but lost at home in a more or less close game (100:108) . It is worth mentioning, the Canadian squad managed to secure six wins in head to head encounters which took place in Memphis.

Memphis Grizzlies

With the Grizzlies now ceding their second spot to Houston, Taylor Jenkins’ group has stalled somewhat, but they remain a dangerous outfit to all other teams in the league.

Memphis was beaten by the Clippers (110:114) consolidated by effective movements and tactical substitutions whereas Memphis matched them in strength. Ja Morant who has been a beast in attack did not perform miracles this time around. Their next match is at home meaning that they owe their fans a better performance.

Toronto Raptors

The Raptors are in a deep dark hole and seem unable to get themselves out. It has been eight games since they have achieved success in a match which has rightfully dropped them down to the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

For Toronto, their last match against the New York Knicks showcased decent offense but unfortunately their defense let them down and they were beaten 139:125. Although Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett tried their best to change the dynamics of the match, the performance did not prove to be effective. It does not seem to get any easier from here since they have a tough away fixture next against a team that is one of the leaders of the Western Conference.

Prediction

Our expert pick: Toronto is really struggling and has not managed to come back to winning ways, not even with the new head coach Darko Rajakovic. It’s hard to imagine them turning up for a game in Memphis too.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies have their own problems to deal with; after having dropped out of the top two in the conference, they’ll be hunting for easy wins. At the home ground of the Grizzlies, Jenkins’ team would be looking to make the most of their opponent’s failures and put forth their full showcase. We think the home side will win this match quite easily.

Our prediction: Memphis to cover a -10 points handicap at 1.73 odds.
