Utah Jazz @ Memphis Grizzlies Preview

The Memphis Grizzlies (41-24) are riding a three-game winning streak and are looking to solidify their playoff positioning as they host the struggling Utah Jazz (15-50). The Jazz have been eliminated from postseason contention and are on a six-game losing streak. Despite their struggles, the Jazz have shown flashes of competitiveness, with Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, and Walker Kessler leading the charge when healthy. However, the Jazz have lost 13 consecutive road games, making this a tough matchup against a Grizzlies team that boasts one of the best home records in the league.

Memphis will be without Jaren Jackson Jr., their defensive anchor, which could open opportunities for the Jazz to exploit the paint. However, the Grizzlies' offensive firepower, led by Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, should give them the edge in this contest. Memphis has won both meetings against Utah this season, including a dominant 125-103 victory in their last matchup.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

The Memphis Grizzlies have won three consecutive games against the Utah Jazz and hold a 5-5 record in their last 10 head-to-head matchups. Over the course of their history, the Grizzlies have played 84 games against the Jazz since 2005, winning 40 of them. In their last meeting, Memphis secured a commanding 125-103 victory at FedExForum.

Pick: Memphis Grizzlies -11.5

widget-odds-nba-ats-5003-UTA-MEM

The Memphis Grizzlies are heavily favored in this matchup, and for good reason. The Jazz have struggled mightily on the road, losing 13 straight away games, and are on a six-game losing streak overall. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are on a three-game winning streak and have one of the best home records in the league. Despite the absence of Jaren Jackson Jr., Memphis' offensive depth and Utah's defensive struggles make the Grizzlies a strong pick to cover the -11.5 spread.

Top Player Prop Picks

Ja Morant Over 25.5 Points (-119)

widget-props-nba-5003-2190882

Ja Morant has been the offensive leader for the Grizzlies, averaging 21.7 points per game this season. With Jaren Jackson Jr. out, Morant will likely take on an even larger scoring role. Backing him to exceed 25.5 points is a solid play given his recent form and the Jazz's defensive vulnerabilities.

Walker Kessler Over 8.5 Rebounds

Walker Kessler has been a dominant presence on the boards for the Jazz, averaging 8.8 rebounds per game. With Jaren Jackson Jr. sidelined, Kessler could have an easier time controlling the glass, making the over on his rebound total an attractive option.

Desmond Bane Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made

Desmond Bane is a sharpshooter for the Grizzlies, averaging 2.2 three-pointers made per game. Against a Jazz defense that struggles to defend the perimeter, Bane should have plenty of opportunities to hit from deep and surpass this line.
