Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
The Memphis Grizzlies and the New Orleans Pelicans get their 2023/24 seasons underway when they face off for this Western Conference clash. These were two teams that have been in the headlines in the offseason for unwanted reasons.
For Memphis, the talk of the entire NBA has been the suspension to superstar and All-NBA second team point guard Ja Morant. The Murray State product was seen brandishing a firearm on social media for the second time, which led to the NBA handing down a 25-game suspension. Memphis finished last season as the West’s second-best team with a record of 51 wins and 31 defeats. They were only two games behind the eventual championship winning Nuggets who had the first seed. The Grizzlies would end up being bounced in the first round by the LA Lakers. Memphis are a team with title ambitions but they’ll have to cope with playing nearly a third of the regular season without the face of the franchise.
The Pelicans also had their share of offseason news stories revolving around their franchise player in Zion Williamson. While there was a lot of focus around the relationship status of the 23-year-old, the NBA world is more concerned about Williamson’s weight and readiness for the new season. The Duke product played only 29 games last season and there are serious doubts over his durability and dependability. However, when Zion is on the floor and in shape, he is simply fantastic. New Orleans finished ninth in the West last season with a 42-40 record which qualified them for the play-in tournament. Unfortunately for Pels fans, they were unable to overcome the 10th-seed Thunder and missed out on making the NBA Playoffs proper.
