Why The Jazz Could Cover The Spread

The hot start to the season has evaporated. Likewise, the Jazz are now clinging to the final play-in spot for dear life. Markkanen averages 24.6 points per game with a shooting percentage of 53.1. Also, he averages 8.3 rebounds per contest. Clarkson averages 20.5 points per game. Moreover, Malik Beasley averages 14 points per game.

The Jazz are an up-tempo team. Hence, they score plenty of points and will try to make it rain often. The Jazz are the best team in the NBA in scoring. Also, they rank 15th in field goal shooting percentage and 12th in 3-point shooting percentage. Utah also ranks 15th in free-throw shooting percentage. Additionally, the Jazz are 13th in rebounds. But the Jazz struggle to handle the ball efficiently. Therefore, they rank 24th in turnovers. The Jazz also rank 17th in blocked shots.

The Jazz could cover the spread if they can outhustle the Grizzlies and play the game at their speed. Then, they must stop Morant and Jackson from dominating the game. The Jazz must lock them down on defense.

Why The Grizzlies Could Cover The Spread

The Grizzlies are currently the second-best team in the Western Conference. However, they always seem to field an injury. Desmond Bane missed Thursday's game but will play today. Significantly, he averages 21.6 points per game for the Grizzlies, highlighting his importance. Morant averages 27.2 points per game. Moreover, he has eight assists per contest. Morant is the heart and soul of the Grizzlies and can take over a game by himself. Therefore, he is the best weapon Memphis can throw at the Jazz. Jackson averages 16.6 points per game and 6.4 rebounds. Thus, he is another weapon the Grizzlies can utilize to attack the opposition.

The Grizzlies are seventh in the NBA in points. However, they rank 16th in field goal shooting percentage and 23rd in 3-point shooting percentage. The Grizzlies also struggle at the charity stripe, ranking last in the association in free-throw shooting percentage. But the Grizzlies are fantastic on the boards. Substantially, they are the best team in the NBA in rebounds. The Grizzlies also handle the ball efficiently, tanking 13th. Lastly, Memphis is the second-best team in the NBA in blocked shots.

The Grizzlies could cover the spread if Morant, Bane, and Jackson all dominate their chances with the rock. Moreover, the Grizzlies must continue to play suffocating defense.

Final Jazz-Grizzlies Prediction & Pick

The Jazz will play for the second day in a row. Consequently, it will affect them significantly. The Jazz are also struggling terribly, while the Grizzlies are thriving. Thus, expect the Grizzlies to run the score up and then run away with it, covering the spread with ease at home.
