Fifth win in a row for the Grizzlies?
A very appealing duel rises with Brooklyn Nets against the Memphis Grizzlies in the night from Monday to Tuesday. The home side are in second place in the East, but the men from the West are in good form, with recent victories including one in Phoenix.
This proved that they can also keep up with the top teams in the NBA. This can be read in the following NBA tip for the game on 04.01.2022!
Brooklyn Nets – Statistics & current form
The basketball players from the Big Apple have recently lost their former home strength: The last three home games at the Barclays Center ended with a defeat. Although Kevin Durant returned to the court after a quarantine on the penultimate day of play, the Sixers still suffered a home defeat.
The dress rehearsal against the Clippers was also lost in front of the home crowd. Against a hull selection from LA without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, they suffered a surprising 116-120 defeat.
Head coach Steve Nash’s squad will also not be able to rely on Kyrie Irving in the home games, as the unvaccinated guard remains suspended for the games in front of his own crowd.
Memphis Grizzlies – Statistics & current form
The basket-ballers from the Bluff City travel with four wins in a row and are much more powerful again since the return of Ja Morant. In the last win against San Antonio, the ROTY of 2020 was also accurate with 30 points and the best output of all players on the court at the FedEx Forum at home.
Head coach Taylor Jenkins can also generally be satisfied with his team’s offensive performance. The Grizzlies score 111.4 points on 100 possessions – only six teams in the NBA top this figure. Furthermore, Memphis is strong away from home: almost two-thirds of the 16 guest games so far have been victorious.
Brooklyn Nets – Memphis Grizzlies Tip
The Nets have fallen off recently and this especially in the home games. They have not won a game at the Barclays Center in three matches. Due to the many absences in the last few weeks, the home side does not seem to be well-rehearsed and not a unit on the court.
For the game between the Brooklyn Nets and Memphis Grizzlies, the tip includes an away victory, including a positive handicap of 7.5 points for the visitors.
Even though the second-place team can be seen as slight favourites for the game due to the recent return of Kevin Durant, at best a narrow home win or even another home defeat for the Nash squad is in the cards.
This is also supported by the fact that the visitors are in a stable condition. For the last four rounds of matches, they have only won and have been particularly convincing on the offensive. This can be seen in their average output of just under 116 points per game in this flashback.
