The Nets have looked like a completely different team over the past two games as they picked up crucial wins against the Atlanta Hawks to gain ground in the race for the Eastern Conference play-in tournament. While it’s unclear if Brooklyn finally turns a corner with its season, they will face a Grizzlies team that is dealing with a multitude of injuries to its top players, so take the Nets away.
If there’s any doubt about Brooklyn’s ability to win this contest convincingly, there should be no doubt about the Nets winning this game. Brooklyn should enter this game with some confidence thanks to their most recent wins and facing a Memphis team they’ve beaten before.
The Nets and Grizzlies are in the bottom half of the league in offensive rating, but Memphis ranks in the top 10 in defensive rating while Brooklyn is middle of the pack in the category. Both teams rank in the bottom half of the league in terms of pace, so this matchup should be on the lower scoring side, but take the upper hand.
Prediction: Nets 115, Grizzlies 105
