The current betting odds have the Pelicans listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Pelicans got off to a hot start this season but they have cooled off in their last few games since that hot start. They still have a very good team this year that is finally starting to put things together after dealing with injuries to their star draft pick Zion Williamson. He is finally healthy again and he has looked really good in the games he has played this season. The Grizzlies have not gotten off to a great start this year, they are playing well right now but nowhere near as dominant as they were last season. Their team is also really banged up coming into this game with some big injuries to key players like Morant Bane, and Jackson Jr. The Grizzlies are also a much better home team and even though they were really good in their games without Morant last season, they still had a lot of good supporting players who are also banged up for this game now. The Pelicans finally got a win in their last game at home and they will be looking to carry over that momentum into this game with a good performance here at home. The Pelicans have a good chance at winning this game at home if everyone plays for the Grizzlies but get this line now as it could move a lot if it is announced that the Grizzlies will be without those key players. The best way to place a bet here is on the Pelicans to cover the spread in this game.
