Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies preview

The Jazz are all but out of postseason contention. They have lost six games on the trot and have won just two of their past 10 games. They are also without several of their key players, including Lauri Markkanen (back) and Jordan Clarkson (foot). Both are questionable for Wednesday’s game as well.

Utah is coming off of a 114-108 loss to the Boston Celtics on Monday. John Collins led the team with a double-double of 28 points and 10 rebounds. Collin Sexton (16 points and 13 assists) and Walker Kessler (11 points and 10 rebounds) had double-doubles as well. Brice Sensabaugh contributed 22 points off the bench.

The Grizzlies are coming off of a close 120-118 win against the Phoenix Suns on Monday. Ja Morant led the team with 29 points and 12 assists. Memphis has won three straight games and is 5-5 over the past 10.

Memphis is without Jaren Jackson Jr. who is dealing with an ankle injury. The team needs to ensure it doesn’t fall in the standings in Jackson’s absence.

Lauri Markkanen’s points total is set at 18.5. If he plays, the oddsmakers favor him to cross that mark. And so do we.

Ja Morant’s points total is set at 26.5. He has crossed that mark in three straight games and should be able to do so Wednesday as well.

Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction

The oddsmakers favor the Grizzlies to get a convincing win at home. While we expect Memphis to win, it could struggle to cover the spread in a close game where the team total should stay under 246.5 points.
