Memphis Grizzlies vs. Brooklyn Nets Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds and Spreads - November 20 | 2022/23 NBA Regular Season

The Memphis Grizzlies take on the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday (November 20) at the Barclays Center in NBA Regular Season action. The Grizzlies are currently 10-6 as they sit in second place in the Western Conference standings, while the Nets have gone 7-9 sitting in 10th place in the East.

The Nets have a lot of turmoil surrounding them at the moment, with public backlash and the Kyrie Irving debacle. On the court, the Nets have been pretty underwhelming. They have lacked intensity in games, translating to their poor rebounding numbers and are currently ranked in the bottom five for rebounds per game this season. The Nets are also in the bottom five for FGA per game.

Even though the team has had such frustration surrounding them, Kevin Durant is just doing what he does best. He is currently averaging nearly 31 a night on a ridiculous 65% true shooting. Durant has scored 25 or more in all of the games he has played this term, adding a total of eight 30+ point games in the process. If the Nets can somehow sort out the mess they're in, the team under Durant's leadership can go far.

The Grizzlies have been one of the best teams in the league this season. They currently have the second-best rebounding numbers in the NBA while attempting the fourth-most FGs per game. Ja Morant has been sensational for Memphis this season, averaging nearly 29 points and 7 assists per game. In the absence of Jaren Jackson, the Grizzlies have done well. But the squad will naturally get a lot stronger once he is back.

Grizzlies vs. Nets Betting Prediction

It's a very evenly matched contest on paper, but with injuries to three of their regular starting five, they look down and out. The Nets have a lot going for them at the moment, with KD in lights-out form and Kyrie possibly coming back.

Both teams are 3-2 in their last five, but an injury-riddled Grizzlies side doesn’t match up with this Nets side. The Nets will take this one.

Nets: -7.5 (-110)
