Our Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
The Pelicans should be well rested and have been very good of late as they continue to get fitter, but they will be without the services of Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram in this match which is far from ideal heading to Memphis.
The Grizzlies are starting to heat back up in recent weeks and moved up to second in terms of cover percentage last time out when they beat the Hornets by 12. It’s a hefty line, but we fancy the hosts to get the job done. Our Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans prediction is Memphis Grizzlies -10.5.
