The Memphis Grizzlies will be looking to return to winning ways in the NBA when they entertain the struggling New Orleans Pelicans. This is the third meeting of the season between these two teams, who sit 10 games apart in the Western Conference. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Grizzlies have won both meetings with the Pelicans. Another win here and they will win this regular-season series with a game to spare.
Tuomas Lisalo’s men won the first meeting 128-122 at home and then in OT in the second game in New Orleans. The Grizzlies haven’t lost any of the last six matchups with the Pelicans.
As a result, they are highly favored to win this latest encounter. Memphis suffered its seventh loss in the last 10 games after falling 124-122 at home to the Hawks.
The Pelicans are also hoping for a strong night as they seek to end a three-game skid. James Borrego’s men lost at home to the high-flying Pistons 112-104.
With just two wins in their last 16 games, the Pelicans have lost a whopping 36 games in 46 outings this term. No team has lost more. When competing away from home, 17 of the Pelicans’ 20 opponents have won against them.
Zion Williamson was unable to play the full game against the Pistons due to illness. He is a doubt for this game, and so too is Herb Jones, while Jose Alvarado is out.
