Smart Game Analysis
Memphis Grizzlies has a 68% chance of winning the game
With Ja Morant back in form and the Hawks missing key big man Kristaps Porzingis, the Grizzlies are poised to exploit Atlanta's 25th-ranked defense at home.
Key Analysis
- • Atlanta is severely handicapped by the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) and rookie Zaccharie Risacher (knee).
- • Ja Morant has returned to the lineup with a double-double performance, giving Memphis a decisive playmaker advantage.
- • The Hawks' defense is a major liability, currently ranked 25th in the league and allowing 119.0 points per game.
- • Memphis enters with momentum from a 126-109 blowout win, whereas Atlanta is reeling from a four-game losing streak.
- • Jalen Johnson is in a shooting slump for the Hawks, struggling to carry the offense since the Trae Young trade.
- • Atlanta needs an explosive scoring night from CJ McCollum or Nickeil Alexander-Walker to overcome their defensive deficiencies.
