Sooner or later, the New Orleans Pelicans’ winning streak must come to an end. It’s very likely to happen tonight. After all, the Memphis Grizzlies are no weaker. Yes, Jenkins’ team has been in a bit of a slump. However, an improvement could come at any time. All it’ll take is for Ja Morant to get his game going.
Neither Memphis nor New Orleans has any problem at all scoring under 120 points. Both teams are fast enough. In this regard, we suggest looking at a higher total.
The Memphis Grizzlies are not having a very productive period of the season, even with the heroics of their point guard. Four defeats in their last five games and they lost their last two games without an option: Sacramento (109-131) and Brooklyn (115-127).
With all that said, those five defeats include a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans (102-113) on its floor. Morant and everyone else was clearly hurt by that and in the upcoming game, the gang from Tennyside will do everything they can to get revenge.
The Grizzlies are in eighth place in their conference. Taylor Jenkins’ club now has 10 wins and eight losses.
In 12 of Memphis’ 18 games, the minimum total has been 222 points.
The Pelicans, unlike their opponents, have a streak of four wins in their last five games. Their last two games were a blowout: San Antonio (129-110) and Golden State (128-83).
Zion Williamson is slowly gaining form and could be a big player in the next game. He scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 1 assist in his last game against the Spurs.
Currently, the Pelicans have 11 wins and 7 losses and their playoff prospects this season are more than evident.
The Pelicans have won five of the last six meetings.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Memphis Grizzlies: Ja Morant – John Konchar – Dillon Brooks – Jaren Jackson Jr. – Steven Adams.
New Orleans Pelicans: CJ McCollum – Herbert Jones – Brandon Ingram – Zion Williamson – Jonas Valančiūnas.
Danny Green (Out), Ziarie Williams (Out), Desmond Bane (Out), Santi Aldama (Day-to-day) and John Konchar (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the Memphis Grizzlies.
E.J. Liddell (Out), CJ McCollum (Day-to-day) and Trey Murphy III (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Pelicans have scored more than 113 points in 3 of their last 4 games. We offer to bet on “Pelicans Points Over 112.5” with odds of 1.825.
The fixture will be played at FedEx Forum (17.794) in Memphis, Tennessee, USA.
This starting whistle will sound on the 26th of November, 2022, at 01:00 UK Time.
