Prediction and Conclusion

Ja Morant is back in the Grizzlies lineup, and the team looks way better than last season. They have the same core players, and we can expect big things in Memphis. They are coming from a day off after a win in Philadelphia and will visit the Brooklyn Nets, who lost to the Detroit Pistons yesterday. Given the roster, winning 3 of 7 games so far in the season is pretty good for the Nets, but things are about to get ugly. Brooklyn is just in a rebuilding process that will lose a lot of games for them. The next one is tonight, as the Grizzlies will cover the -5.5-point spread.
