The rampaging Memphis Grizzlies will host the out of tune Utah Jazz when the two teams face off on Saturday evening in the NBA’s Western Conference. Memphis is sitting third in the West standings at 30-15 while the Jazz are rock-bottom with a 10-32 record. Here’s our match prediction! 

The Grizzlies will be playing the second half of a back-to-back at the FedExForum here. They were unstoppable on the offensive end on Friday evening as they wrapped up a 139-126 home win over the Pelicans. 

Memphis shot 54% from the field and 45% from three in that win, proving just why they are the highest-scoring team in the league at 123.3 points per game. Even without Ja Morant, who missed out with an illness, the Grizz didn’t miss a beat.

The hosts are one of the league’s most fearsome home teams with an 18-5 record in their own gym.

In their most recent appearance, the Jazz were torched to the tune of 54 points by MVP frontrunner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in a 123-114 away defeat to the Thunder. Utah has now lost its last four games in a row as they’ve slumped to last place in the Western Conference standings.

The visitors are struggling with a lengthy injury report which includes two of their top-five scorers in Jordan Clarkson and John Collins.
