Betting Preview
The start of the NBA season has been a struggle for the Memphis Grizzlies. They are without their top scorer Ja Morant from a season ago for the first 25 games. Desmond Bane has come in and taken over the lead as leading scorer, with 26.5 points per game, in just over 35 minutes per game. The problem for the Grizzlies is they are scoring just over 108 points per game, but that’s near the bottom of the league.
The Grizzlies have only seen four guys play in all 10 games this season. Bane, along with Jaren Jackson Jr, Marcus Smart, and David Roddy. Everyone else has already missed a game or more this season due to injuries. Jackson Jr and Smart are next in scoring for Memphis, with 20.5 and 13.4 respectively.
