Memphis Grizzlies vs New York Knicks Preview
The Grizzlies haven’t had a great start to the season and have won just three of their past 10 games. The losses have contributed to unharmony in the team as well, with Ja Morant being suspended for a game for behavior detrimental to the team.
Memphis is coming off of a 114-100 loss to the OKC Thunder on Sunday. Almost nothing went right for the Grizzlies as Jaren Jackson Jr. was the leading scorer with 17 points. Morant had 11 points and eight assists, while Cedric Howard came off the bench for 13 points and 10 rebounds.
The Grizzlies continue to be hampered by injuries and are without Zach Edey (ankle), Brandon Clarke (knee), Scotty Pippen Jr. (left big toe), Ty Jerome (calf) and Javon Small (toe).
The Knicks are on a four-game winning streak and are coming off of a dominant 134-98 victory against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. Karl-Anthony Towns had a double-double of 28 points and 12 rebounds, while OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson had 19 points each.
New York listed Mitchell Robinson as questionable with an ankle injury. Kevin McCullar Jr. is doubtful with a nose injury.

Memphis Grizzlies vs New York Knicks Prediction and Betting Tips
The oddsmakers favor the Knicks to get a win at home. We expect the same, as Morant and Co. haven’t shown anything so far to believe otherwise. New York should cover the spread for a win in a high-scoring game where the team total goes past 234 points.
