Grizzlies vs Knicks Prediction

The current betting odds have the Grizzlies listed as a 4 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Grizzlies haven't been great in their games lately but they just got a huge win at home over the Pelicans in their last game and they will carry over that momentum into this game against the Knicks. The Knicks haven't had a very good start to their season since they are still under .500 right now and they have had some defensive issues from last year starting to crop up in their play once again. The Knicks had a bad problem with getting out to early leads last season but then blowing their massive leads in the 2nd half and even going on to lose those games. That same scenario happened the other night when they lost at home in OT to the Trail Blazers and that is not the 1st big double digit lead they have blown late in games this year. The Knicks are dealing with the same issues that kept them out of the playoffs last year and the Grizzlies are a very good team that was one of the best in the Western Conference last season and on pace to do the same this year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Grizzlies to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes

 
“Our first quarter defensive activity, the ball movement, the pace we were playing with. We held them to 48 points in the first half.” - Taylor Jenkins after his team’s win against the Pelicans in their game on Friday.
 
 
“You got to know your opponent well and then you also got to factor in how this game is (being officiated). Is it a physical game? Is it a game that’s being called tight? And then we have to adjust. We didn’t adjust. Fifty-one free throws? I can’t recall someone getting 28 in a game.” - Tom Thibodeau after his team’s loss against the Trail Blazers in their game on Friday.
