The New Orleans Pelicans and Memphis Grizzlies could not be further apart in the standings. However, despite all the injuries to the Pelicans, they have made things interesting for NBA game predictions.

The Grizzlies are still the better team, but the Pelicans have been competitive. They have won four straight and got extra rest after a home game was postponed due to the snow in New Orleans. Let’s check the latest Pelicans vs Grizzlies odds to find the best NBA bets tonight.

 

Pelicans vs Grizzlies Prediction

Both teams are coming into this matchup with four-game winning streaks. However, the Grizzlies are still the third seed in the Western Conference, giving them a massive advantage. In comparison, the Pelicans have the second-worst record in the West.

This should be a high-scoring game because of the Grizzlies’ high-scoring offense and the Pelicans’ are getting healthier. But still, the Grizzlies should win this game 129-120.

Pelicans vs Grizzlies Best 3 NBA Player Props Today

1. Ja Morant Assists Over 7.5 (-139)

Overall, Ja Morant is not valued heavily as a passer, but in his last game, he headlined NBA news with 13 assists. Defenses are trying to slow down his scoring, leading to his playmaking taking on a more prominent role.

Over the last three games Morant has played, he is averaging 10.7 rebounds, higher than his 7.7 on the season. He also took 12.7 shots in that stretch, compared to his usual 16 per game. The Pelicans also have an elite perimeter defender in Dejounte Murray, which can push Morant into being more of a playmaker in this matchup.

 

2. Trey Murphy III 3-Pointers Made Over 3.5 (-104)

Trey Murphy III might not be the hottest three-point shooter in the league, but he’s taking his shots. After sitting out for three games, Murphy has played the last five, taking nine threes per game. He is only making three of them, shooting at 33.3%, but his volume is high, so it makes sense to back him making some in this matchup, especially in a game that should be high-scoring. Include Murphy in your NBA player props picks tonight.

3. Jaren Jackson Jr. Rebounds Over 7.5 (+110)

Jaren Jackson Jr. is hardly the best rebounding big in the league. Despite being 6 feet 10 inches, he only averages 6.4 rebounds this season. However, the Pelicans are also one of the worst rebounding teams in the league. They rank 22nd in rebounds, and opponents average the fourth-most rebounds per game (46.3). That should be enough of an advantage for Jackson to hit the over on his rebounds.

 

Pelicans vs Grizzlies Moneyline Pick

Based on these team’s standings, it is a pretty obvious choice when betting on the moneyline. The Grizzlies have a clear advantage. They will be the home teams and have nearly double the amount of wins as the Pelicans. The Pelicans’ four-game winning streak is against opponents near the bottom of the standings.

Pelicans vs Grizzlies Spread Pick

The NBA spread is where this game gets a lot more interesting for betting because the Grizzlies are the obvious favorites, but the Pelicans have been playing well. When the Pelicans are healthy, they are a scary team with Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum, and Murray. Throw in Brandon Ingram, who has missed the last 20 games and is a game-time decision. That is enough talent on the court to make things interesting and cover the spread.

Bet on Pelicans ATS +11.5 (-105)

 

Pelicans vs Grizzlies Over/Under Pick

Whenever the Grizzlies step on a court, their game has a chance to hit the over in NBA expert picks. 63.6% of the Grizzlies’ games have hit the over this season, the second highest in the league. That is mainly because of their offense, which averages a league-high 123.3 points per game. That makes the over the best option.

Questions Of The Day

Who is the leading scorer in this game?


It’s challenging to pick the top scorer in this matchup because the Grizzlies don’t have a leading offensive player, but Jackson may be the best option.

Can the Pelicans get the win?


The Pelicans have a good chance to cover the spread, but winning straight up against a top team on the road is a tall task for this team.
