Grizzlies vs. Pacers Prediction
The Grizzlies are averaging 116.8 points per game this season. Offensively, Ja Morant is their top player, scoring an average of 27.6 points per game. The team have shown weakness around the charity stripe but are deadly around the rim. They're strong on defense as well, and are relentless in challenging shots on the perimeter and around the rim.
The Pacers, meanwhile, have also looked respectable on offense, averaging 115.6 points per game. Tyrese Haliburton is their offensive MVP, scoring an average of 20.2 points per game. However, Haliburton is among the many to've been struck down by injury of late. The Indiana outfit are worn out at the moment and it's noticeably starting to cost them on the court.
Even with the home-court advantage, the Pacers are likely in for a hard time tonight.
Prediction: Grizzlies -8 (-110)
