Memphis Grizzlies vs Sacramento Kings Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Paul Tamayo | in NBA Picks

The Memphis Grizzlies (43-25) visit the Sacramento Kings (33-33) on Monday, March 17, 2025, at the Golden 1 Center.

The Grizzlies are fresh from a convincing 125-91 victory over the Miami Heat, their fifth win in the last six games. Top star Ja Morant didn't even play in that game, although that might only be a case of load management on a back-to-back schedule. Morant did have 44 points on 17-22 shooting in their March 14 game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

As for the Kings, they have lost four straight games by an average margin of 18 points. They're in a tough stretch of their schedule that also features the Clippers, Knicks, Warriors, Suns, and Cavaliers. During that span, the Kings averaged a paltry defensive rating of 129.8, down from their season average of 115.5.

So far, the regular season series between Memphis and Sacramento is tied at 1-1. However, this could be a more difficult game for the Kings. Their interior defense has been a problem all season long, which could be a big problem against Morant and the Grizzlies.

Plus, Sacramento has to deal with Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. This is a game that favors the Grizzlies, especially if they get Morant back.

Our Memphis Grizzlies vs Sacramento Kings Prediction

The Kings have tons of questions to answer about their defense. On the other hand, the Grizzlies pack plenty of answers with their offense. With Morant possibly returning after a one-game layoff, the Grizzlies just might have the Kings' number.

It might be a close game, but the Kings' faltering defense could fall out in the end. It's a tough stretch that could extend to five straight losses for Sacramento. Our prediction for the Sacramento Kings vs Memphis Grizzlies match is: Grizzlies (+2) cover the spread.
