Smart Game Analysis
Memphis Grizzlies has a 56% chance of winning the game
Despite missing Ja Morant, the Grizzlies are favored due to their strong recent road record and rebounding dominance against a Jazz team with the league's worst defense.
Key Analysis
- • Memphis has won 6 of their last 8 road games, demonstrating resilience away from home.
- • Utah ranks 30th in the NBA for blocks and opponent 3-point percentage, indicating a severe lack of defensive resistance.
- • The Grizzlies rank 3rd in the league in rebounding (46.4 RPG), which poses a major problem for a Jazz team missing center Walker Kessler.
- • Utah enters the contest with negative momentum, having lost three straight games including a blowout loss to Denver yesterday.
- • Lauri Markkanen is listed as questionable on the second night of a back-to-back, creating significant offensive uncertainty for Utah.
- • Jaren Jackson Jr. is available and expected to dominate the paint against Utah's depleted frontcourt.
