The Memphis Grizzlies are favored to win against the Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers on paper are a stronger-looking team when looking at the players they have and the quality they possess. Despite being on a 1-game winning streak as compared to the Grizzlies’ 7-game winning streak, the Clippers have a chance to take the win. However, the Grizzlies hot streak is likely to continue as Morant will once again lead the team against the Clippers. The Grizzlies put the Orlando Magic to bed without Morant last time out.
The Grizzlies have played several games without Morant and have won a majority of their game in his absence. Hence, the Grizzlies can go on to win against the Clippers, nonetheless, with Morant back on the roster, the Grizzlies will give the Clippers a hard time. The momentum will certainly be behind the Grizzlies ahead of the game. Despite George missing from the game, the Clippers will not make things easy for the Grizzlies. Nonetheless, the Grizzlies will be favored to win tonight.
