Kings vs. Grizzlies Betting Prediction

Both sides are in superb form and will look to take the game to the opposition. The Grizzlies have built a very strong defensive core while the Kings are fully built on their high-octane offense. The Grizzlies are better placed to win this contest considering the quality of their lineup.

The Kings are a great side, no doubt, but the quality of Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson, Desmond Bane, and Steven Adams is much superior. The Grizzlies have also been nearly flawless at the FedExForum, winning 14 of their 17 home games thus far.

Grizzlies: -4.5 (-110)
