Grizzlies vs Raptors Prediction NBA Picks 1/22/24

The Toronto Raptors play host to the Memphis Grizzlies at the Scotiabank Arena on Monday night. Here’s a Raptors vs Grizzlies Prediction.

Memphis Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies have been in a rut as they've lost four of their last five games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting completely run over by the Bulls in a 125-96 road defeat on Saturday. Jaren Jackson Jr led the team with 26 points, six rebounds and five assists, Luke Kennard and Vince Williams scored 14 points each while David Roddy chipped in with 11 points off the bench. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 42 percent from the field and 13 of 42 from the 3-point line, but you could tell it was going to be a rough night early on as the Grizzlies struggled to get going and scored just 17 points in the first quarter to have them trailing for the entire game.

Memphis Grizzlies Player Facts

• Jaren Jackson Jr. is one of only four qualified players in the league averaging at least 1.5 threes and 1.5 blocks this season.
• Luke Kennard ranks 17th amongst qualified players for 3P% (42.2%) this season.

Toronto Raptors

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been in a major slump as they've lost six of their last seven games overall and they will be looking for a better performance after getting thrashed by the Knicks in a 126-100 road loss on Saturday. RJ Barrett led the team with 20 points, eight rebounds and four assists, Gary Trent Jr added 16 points while Immanuel Quickley chipped in with 12 points and 11 assists. As a team, the Raptors shot just 41 percent from the field and 11 of 34 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Knicks early on and trailed by just two points going into halftime, only to get blown out by 67-43 in the second half and suffer yet another disappointing loss. Scottie Barnes shot just four of 14 from the field and zero of three from the 3-point line to finish with nine points. The Raptors will meet the Clippers and Hawks after this game.
