Yesterday’s Results for Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Clippers

Fargo's NBA Saturday Trifecta (13-3 NBA Run)

Analysis: This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS as part of our NBA Saturday Trifecta. The Clippers opened their Kawhi Leonard-less season with a good effort against Golden St. on Thursday as they lost by a bucket. Paul George led the team by posting a double-double with 36 points and 11 rebounds and he was the only starter with a positive +/-. The problem was that he did not go to the free throw line once and taking away the 10 attempts by Ivica Zubac, the other four starters combined for just five attempts. That certainly needs to and will improve as the free buckets will be a big factor here in what is considered a low price on the home team looking to get into the win column. George went 5-11 from long range and taking that away, the rest of the team went 9-29 (31 percent) from behind the arc. Memphis hits the road following an 11-point win over Cleveland at home as it shot 53 percent from the floor while going a perfect 12-12 from the free throw line. The Grizzlies were led by Ja Morant who poured in 37 points on 17-29 shooting and had four other players score in double figures. While the offense was solid, the defense was not. Memphis allowed Cleveland to shoot 51 percent and this from a team that was No. 25 in the league in shooting including finishing dead last in three-point shooting. Things should be worse here against the Clippers even with no Leonard on the floor. 9* (568) Los Angeles Clippers
