Memphis Grizzlies (18-24) and New Orleans Pelicans (10-36) will clash in the Western Conference on Friday night at FedExForum. The Grizzlies will be looking to add more consistency to their performances and lift themselves from the 11th spot. They’ve lost seven of their last 10 matches, with their latest assignment ending in a heartbreaking 2-point home defeat to the Hawks. Earlier, the Grizzlies had defeated the Magic 126-109 and will want to bounce back on Friday.
New Orleans Pelicans, meanwhile, have been the worst-performing team in the league this season. They sit at the bottom of the conference standings with a mere .217 win percentage and are 27.5 games behind the Thunder. The Pelicans will look to stop their three-game slide, with their latest defeat coming on Wednesday night against the Pistons. Even more worrying is that they’ll play their next three games on the road, including trips to the Spurs and the Thunder.

Our Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
Neither team is performing to expectations this season, setting the stage for a cagey clash. The Grizzlies will come into this game as the warm -235 betting favorites, partly due to their home advantage and superior head-to-head record. The hosts will also know that the Pelicans are struggling to win on the road, coming with a 1-7 record in the last eight games. However, the Pelicans have shown improved resilience lately, losing by close margins against top teams like the Rockets and the Pistons. They’ll definitely fancy their chances against the injury-hit Grizzlies. Still, we’ll give the home side the benefit of the doubt to win this one.
Our prediction for Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans: New Orleans Pelicans to cover +5.5 spread.
