Indiana Pacers vs. Memphis Grizzlies Betting Preview
The Indiana Pacers snapped a four game losing streak with their win on Wednesday over the Hornets. This is the same Indiana team that went to the in-season tournament title game in Las Vegas. But, the struggles have been real, especially on the defensive end. Indiana allowed 140, 137, 127 and 151 in the losing streak.
Tyrese Hailburton is the main man for the Pacers. He scored 19 in the win over the Hornets, but on the season, he has been outstanding. The guard is scoring just shy of 25 points per game, while playing in 22 games this season. Second for Indiana in scoring has beenMyles Turner, with 16.9 points per game.
Indiana will host the Orlando Magic on Saturday, and then wait until December 26th to play on the road at the Houston Rockets. The final two NBA games before 2024 for the Pacers will be at the Bulls on December 28th, and home against the Knicks.
Grizzlies’ Challenging Road Ahead
The Memphis Grizzlies got a massive lift on Tuesday with the return of Ja Morant. Morant missed the first 25 games due to a league suspension. In the win over the Pelicans, Morant scored 34 points, including a buzzer beater. Desmond Bane was next for the Grizzlies with 21 points.
Without Morant, Bane was the top scorer for Memphis, with 24.4 points per game. Bane shot nearly 47% from the field, and dished out 5.1 assists. The Grizzlies also are getting more than 21 points per game from their big man Jaren Jackson Jr. Marcus Smart has missed 15 games for the Grizzlies, scoring 12.5 points per game.
Memphis is on the road for four in a row after this. The Grizzlies are at the Atlanta Hawks, New Orleans Pelicans, Denver nuggets and then the Los Angeles Clippers. Memphis will go back home for New Years Eve to take on the Kings.
Indiana Pacers vs. Memphis Grizzlies Betting Prediction
With Ja Morant back, the Grizzlies are closer to full speed than they were earlier in the season. Morant is a pure scorer, and brings electricity to the Grizzlies lineup. Look for him and the Grizzlies to get up and down the floor in a hurry. The Pacers struggle to guard, and they will not be able to keep up, especially on back to back games.
When making this bet, we are taking the Memphis Grizzlies. Bet Memphis -4.5 over Indiana in a National Basketball Association affair on Thursday. The Grizzlies get to 125 in this game, but just stay Under the total. Memphis wins 125-119. We hope you enjoyed our Pacers vs Grizzlies betting analysis! Good luck with all your NBA Expert Picks!
