The betting odds and predictions for this game are below:

Ja Morant continues to cut through NBA defenses like a knife through butter. Morant is virtually unstoppable on the drive as he crashes towards the rim. The Jazz backcourt should have their hands full with the dynamic playmaker.
Desmond Bane has stepped up as Morants' Grizzlies running mate. Bane is averaging 24 points, five boards, and five assists a night as one of the NBA's surprising revelations.
If the Grizzlies want to take the next step, they will need more from Brandon Clarke. Clarke has the ceiling to become a dominant force at both ends of the court.
Lauri Markkanen has quickly become the leader of the Jazz team, averaging 21 points and nine rebounds per game. The offense feeds off Markkanen's low post presence and ability to stretch the court.
The Jazz has a balanced backcourt with Jordan Clarkson, Collin Sexton, Mike Conley, and Malik Beasley, adding double-digit scoring.

Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies Best Pick
To keep pace with Ja Morant and the Grizzlies' offense, the Jazz will have to step up their efficiency at the offensive end. Mike Conley is a savvy veteran who steps up when called upon. This line is a modest one that's achievable for the veteran Conley.
Mike Conley; Pts: Over 12.5
Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies Final Prediction
The Utah Jazz has been the feel-good story of the NBA so far. The Jazz was thought to be one of the worst teams in the NBA, in a complete rebuild mode.
Shockingly, they stormed out of the gates to shock many teams in their wake. Unfortunately for Jazz fans, the good vibes could end there. Ja Morant is on his tour of destruction and should lead the Grizzlies to a road victory.
