Brooklyn Nets vs Memphis Grizzlies preview

The Nets are a rebuilding team and weren’t expected to compete for a playoff spot this season. While they haven’t been off to the greatest of starts, a struggling Eastern Conference means they are amid the playoff contending teams so far. They split their past 10 games and are 5-8 on the road.

Brooklyn is coming off of a 118-113 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday, as Dennis Schroder led the team in scoring with 34 points. He also had 11 assists. Nic Claxton had a double-double as well with 21 points and 10 rebounds.

After a down year in 2023-24, the Grizzlies are rightly back where they belong among the elite Western teams. Memphis is on a three-game winning streak and have won nine of its past 10 games. It has also been dominant at home with a 11-3 record.

The Grizzlies’ last game was a 140-112 blowout win against the Washington Wizards. Jaren Jackson Jr. led the team with 21 points in Morant’s absence, who is expected to play Friday.

Brooklyn Nets vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction

The oddsmakers highly favor Memphis to win at home. We expect the same and the Grizzlies should cover the spread for a blowout win. This should be a high-scoring game, with the team total going past 231 points.
