Memphis Grizzlies @ Indiana Pacers Preview

The Memphis Grizzlies (36-18) and Indiana Pacers (30-23) face off in their first game after the All-Star break. The Grizzlies, holding the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference, are looking to bounce back after a 128-114 loss to the LA Clippers. With Ja Morant expected to return, Memphis will have its full starting lineup available. The Grizzlies boast the league's best offense, averaging 123.3 points per game, and are dominant in the paint.

Meanwhile, the Pacers are coming off a thrilling 134-130 overtime win against the Washington Wizards. Benedict Mathurin and Obi Toppin led the charge in that game, and Myles Turner is expected to return after missing three games due to a neck injury. Indiana has been strong offensively, averaging 116 points per game, but their defense has struggled, particularly in the paint and against three-point shooting.

Pick: Memphis Grizzlies -2.5

The Grizzlies are the stronger team on both ends of the court, and with Ja Morant back in the lineup, they are well-positioned to cover the -2.5 spread. Memphis has been excellent ATS this season, with a 35-19 record, and they are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games against Indiana. The Pacers' defensive struggles, particularly in the paint, make it difficult for them to contain Memphis' offensive firepower.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Ja Morant Over 25.5 Points

With Morant returning to the lineup, he is expected to lead the Grizzlies' offense. Indiana's defensive struggles in the paint and their inability to contain high-scoring guards make this a favorable matchup for Morant.

2. Desmond Bane Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made

Bane has been on a hot streak, scoring at least 20 points in five consecutive games. With Indiana allowing opponents to shoot over 36% from beyond the arc, Bane should have plenty of opportunities to hit from deep.

3. Myles Turner Over 8.5 Rebounds

Turner is expected to return to the lineup and will be a key factor in controlling the boards. Memphis' fast pace and high shot volume should provide ample rebounding opportunities for Turner.
