Memphis relies on the home bonus!
The Memphis Grizzlies and Atlanta Hawks cross blades the next night in the NBA. The hosts had to admit defeat in the past three duels and recorded an average of only around 97 points in the encounters.
The home record from the recent past is also bitter: For about two years, the hosts have not won against the men from A-Town in front of their own backdrop (0-4)!
Memphis Grizzlies – Statistics & Current Form
The team from the “Home of the Blues” is particularly successful in rebounding this season. Head coach Taylor Jenkins’ team scores an average of 48.7 boards per game – the best in the NBA!
Offensive rebounds are regularly retracted and particularly meritorious in this context is the 29-year-old center Steven Adams with 4.8 offensive boards per game.
Otherwise, however, the second best scorer Desmond Bane is still missing due to injury. But the hosts are now coping well with this failure: For five rounds they have always won and in the West only the Pelicans rank with one victory more ahead of Memphis!
Atlanta Hawks – Statistics & Current Form
In contrast to the opponent, the Hawks have to play a back-to-back and are currently weakened in terms of personnel. Among other things, Dejounte Murray is missing a powerful scorer.
Due to other failures such as forward John Collins, Atlanta’s recent results were mostly disappointing. Only one of the last four games could win the basketball hunters from Georgia.
The only victory within this flashback came last night against Chicago, thanks to a buzzer-beater in overtime by rookie A. J. Griffin.
The newbie achieved this feat for the second time this season, having already achieved this extraordinary feat against Toronto last November.
Memphis Grizzlies – Atlanta Hawks Tip
Although the guests are a fearful opponent of the hosts, but in the upcoming game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Atlanta Hawks still offers the tip on a home win with at least eight points difference.
The hosts are currently very stable and have not lost for five rounds. In addition, guests must provide a back-to-back.
This will make them more tired, especially considering that the last exchange with Chicago was particularly exhausting, as he only found a winner in overtime.
On top of that, they are weakened in several positions and the Grizzlies have a home advantage: They have only lost two of 13 domestic matches – second-best record in the West.
