The Grizzlies will come into this game after a 24-point win (124-100) in Charlotte against the Hornets. Ja Morant had an explosive game, scoring 28 points. This win streak came at the right time. Stabilizing the Grizzlies season after being 1-7 before the win streak. Morant’s return to health has been huge for Memphis.
Zach Edey has rebounded 17.2 rebounds per game in the last four games. Memphis doesn’t have a strong defense, but their offense is top-notch. Having Morant is a plus in the post-season, as he is one of the best clutch players in the NBA.
The Grizzlies have a decisive 2-0 lead in the 3-game season series between the two teams. These losses are agonizing for Timberwolves because both of them were just by two points. Lately, the Wolves have done better on both ends than the Grizzlies, and the latter has a relatively tougher two-game slate after the game. But the importance of this game can’t be emphasized enough.
Minnesota is Right Behind Memphis in the Standings
The Timberwolves, on the other hand, will come into this game after a disappointing 7-point loss (103-110) against the Milwaukee Bucks. The team held a 24-point at one-point lead in the fourth quarter. They also snapped a five-game winning streak. This loss could be costly, as each defeat brings the fear of the play-in tournament. The Western Conference is a wide-open race from the 3rd to the 8th seed. The Wolves have been 13-4 since March and are looking for an opportunity to make a deep postseason run.
If Minnesota can win their last three games, they can hit the 49-win mark. Meanwhile, a couple of losses here can sink the Grizzlies below the 6th spot. If both teams finish with the same record, the tiebreaker gives Memphis an edge. Therefore, we are in for a photo finish. As for this game, the Timberwolves have won seven out of their last eight games away from home, including two against the Nuggets. Thus, there will be a handful for Memphis here.
Final Pick
Minnesota to win (-110) and point total to go over 233 (-110)
