Edwards again with a hot hand against the Grizzlies?
The Memphis Grizzlies await the Minnesota Timberwolves on Jan. 14, 2022. The home side most recently completed a top-of-the-table matchup against the West’s top-ranked team in the form of the Warriors, picking up their tenth straight win.
With this, the Warriors lost the top spot in the table and the hosts extended the record series of victories in the history of the franchise in parallel. In the following article, a tip and odds are presented for next night’s game between Memphis and Minnesota!
Memphis Grizzlies – Statistics & current form
Memphis has been playing strong in recent weeks: As described, the last ten games were successfully played and especially the recent win against the Warriors can be seen as proof that head coach Taylor Jenkins’ squad will still play a big role this season.
One guarantor for the current great success is Ja Morant: The point guard is currently delivering very strong performances and one notices how much he wants to recommend himself for the current selection of the All-Stars. Even the recent loss of Dillon Brooks doesn’t seem to have any effect on the Grizzlies’ performance for the time being.
Minnesota Timberwolves – Statistics & current form
Minnesota has been at least as successful on the road as their opponents, losing only one of their last five games. Karl-Anthony Towns in particular has been very reliable. The first pick of 2016 ranks among the best 15 players in the NBA in scoring and rebounding!
Moreover, one of his successors as the first pick of a draft (2020) in the person of Anthony Edwards presents himself accurate from outside. Only four players score more threes per game (3.3) league-wide than the small forward.
Since returning to the court from a two-week quarantine, the 20-year-old has been very consistent: He surpassed his seasonal scoring average of 22.4 in four of seven games!
Memphis Grizzlies – Minnesota Timberwolves Tip
Minnesota is looking very strong at the moment, but now it’s against the Grizzlies, who are currently the hottest team in the NBA and have gone from win to win in the last ten rounds.
The Grizzlies have already played two season duels against their upcoming opponents. Memphis first won on its own court and after overtime, before the Timberwolves won at home.
For the new edition of Memphis Grizzlies vs. Minnesota Timberwolves, the tip on more than two threes by Anthony Edwards on the side of the visitors is worth considering. The youngster has generally looked good on his attempts from outside lately, as evidenced by a hit rate of just under 42 percent in January.
In addition, he surpassed the mark of 2.5 threes in six of his last eight appearances! Edwards has also been very on target from downtown in the two previous season duels with the upcoming opponent, with five and four successful attempts.
Bet365 offers odds of 1.64 on the Grizzlies’ match against the Timberwolves.
