After a great start to the season, Memphis slowed down. Ja Morant does not always manage to carry the team on him. Sometimes his efforts are not enough, so the Grizzlies are defeated. This has been the case in the recent three matches. First, Taylor Jenkins’ charges lost to Charlotte (108:118), and then lost to Phoenix (94:119) and New Orleans (101:112). But two days ago Memphis managed to interrupt their streak of failures. In the last match Ja Morant and company dealt with Houston. The Rockets were beaten with a score of 136:102.
Washington interrupted their winning streak, which reached four matches. The away team met with Anaheim and quite unexpectedly lost in overtime (2:3). The Capitals attack did not show itself in the best way, as the main scorers in the person of Ovechkin and Kuznetsov could not distinguish themselves. Indeed, it is much more difficult for the “capital” to play on a visit than on the home arena. In five matches they managed to earn only two victories over Detroit (2:0) and Columbus (4:3). In a duel with the Blue Jackets, it is worth praising Ovechkin, who gave an assist and also threw the puck. More accurate NHL prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
