Both teams cannot boast of a successful start to the regular championship. The "Grizzlies" have lost all four games, and considering the preseason, they have a losing streak of seven games. The "Jazz" has won one out of four matches, though it should be noted that they faced top-notch clubs.
Utah Jazz
Utah hasn’t made a strong impression so far. During the offseason, the “Jazz” management didn’t make any major acquisitions, so high expectations for good results may not be justified. In the current season, the team from Salt Lake City has only managed to win a single game, narrowly beating the “Clippers” (120-118). In their last two games, “Utah” faced defeat again, but their opponents were strong. First, the “Jazz” lost to the “Phoenix” (104-125), and then they were defeated by “Denver” (102-110).
Memphis Grizzlies
Memphis doesn’t look like themselves. The team from Tennessee had a terrible start to the regular championship, losing all four games. The “Grizzlies” are playing without Ja Morant, but his absence is unlikely to have such a significant impact on the team’s performance. In their last game, “Memphis” couldn’t put up much of a fight against “Dallas.” The team lost on their home court with a score of 110-125.
Prediction
Our expert pick:
Sooner or later, "Memphis" must secure a victory. The team has a fairly strong roster of players. The "Grizzlies" have Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart, and they should overall deliver a better performance. We wouldn't rule out the possibility that the "Grizzlies" will break through this time. Our prediction is a "Memphis" victory, taking overtime into account, at odds of 2.25. We expect that this time "Memphis" will show a more vibrant offensive game. Therefore, we recommend betting on a high-scoring encounter. Prediction: Total points over 224.5, and you can place this bet at odds of 1.62. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 2.25.
