Knicks vs. Grizzlies prediction: Can New York score upset in opener?
Grizzlies vs. Knicks prediction and analysis
It’s been over five months since the Grizzlies’ historic season ended unceremoniously at the hands of the eventualchampion Warriors, so it’s easy to forget just how dominant this team was amid a franchise-record 56-win campaign. Memphis posted the NBA’s second-best record and ranked fifth in net rating across the entire season. The Grizzlies took care of business against the spread as favorites with the league’s sixth-best record in that spot, which includes a 17-10 ATS record when laying at least 4.5 points at home.They did much of that without superstar guard Ja Morant, who somehow finished sixth in MVP voting despite missing 25 games. He was simply that good when he played, scoring 27.4 points per game on 49.
On the other side, do we know what the Knicks are at this point? They threw $104 million at Jalen Brunson to be this team’s starting point guard, which sounded a whole lot more appealing when Donovan Mitchell was set to join him. Without that big splash, this backcourt suddenly feels undermanned, with Brunson, RJ Barrett, and Evan Fournier squaring off against the unstoppable Morant.
