Smart Game Analysis
Memphis Grizzlies has a 82% chance of winning the game
Despite missing Ja Morant and Zach Edey, the Grizzlies' superior defense and recent form should comfortably handle a struggling Wizards team with the league's worst defense.
Key Analysis
- • Memphis is without Ja Morant and Zach Edey due to ankle injuries but has still won 9 of their last 12 games.
- • Washington possesses the NBA's worst defense, allowing a staggering 126.4 points per game.
- • Jaren Jackson Jr. anchors a Memphis defense allowing 11 fewer points per game than Washington.
- • The Wizards are in a slump, having lost 5 of their last 6 games including a recent 25-point blowout loss.
- • Memphis holds a significant rebounding advantage with a +3.1 board differential over Washington.
- • Washington must get a high-scoring performance from Alex Sarr and CJ McCollum to overcome their defensive liabilities.
