Smart Game Analysis
Memphis Grizzlies has a 68% chance of winning the game
With Ja Morant back in the lineup and a significant rest advantage, the Grizzlies are poised to exploit the Wizards' 29th-ranked defense.
Key Analysis
- • Ja Morant returned Friday with 17 points and 10 assists, instantly fixing the Grizzlies' playmaking issues.
- • The Wizards are playing on the second night of a back-to-back after a high-scoring game against Toronto yesterday.
- • Washington's defense allows 125.8 points per game (29th in NBA), which is a disastrous matchup against Morant's pace.
- • Memphis has been excellent on the road recently, covering the spread in 7 of their last 9 away games.
- • Rookie Cam Spencer (49.7% 3PT) and Jaren Jackson Jr. provide crucial spacing and scoring to complement Morant.
- • Washington is missing key wing depth with Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore out, and Kyshawn George is questionable.
