The Memphis Grizzlies and the Chicago Bulls duke it out at the United Center on Saturday night. Here’s a Memphis Grizzlies vs Chicago Bulls Prediction. This article will include a Memphis Grizzlies vs Chicago Bulls Pick.
Memphis GrizzliesÂ
The Memphis Grizzlies have been in decent shape as they’ve won five of their last eight games overall and they will be looking to keep it going after outlasting the 76ers in a 117-111 home win on Wednesday. Jaren Jackson Jr led the team with 25 points, Desmond Bane added 21 points with 10 rebounds and six assists while Jaylen Wells chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 48 percent from the field and 19 of 43 from the 3-point line but this win was set up with their defense as they were always in control after keeping the 76ers quiet in the second quarter. Bane and Jackson Jr were great for the Grizzlies, but the difference in the game was the Grizzlies’ bench who combined for 43 points. The Grizzlies will face the Trail Blazers following this one.
Chicago BullsÂ
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in a bit of a rut as they’ve lost eight of their last 12 games overall, but they will be looking to build some momentum after taking down the Hawks in a 136-122 home win last night. Zach LaVine led the team with 26 points, Coby White added 20 points with nine assists, Ayo Dosunmu scored 20 points with eight assists while Nikola Vucevic chipped in with 18 points, 14 rebounds, and four blocks. As a team, the Bulls shot 57 percent from the field and 19 of 43 from the 3-point line as they hit the ground running and took the narrow lead into halftime before they exploded for 78 points in the second half to come away with the much-needed blowout win at home. The Bulls will take on the Wizards and Magic after this game.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Grizzlies are still missing Ja Morant and Zach Edey, while the Bulls are still without Adama Sonogo and Lonzo Ball. The Bulls have yet to hit their stride this season, but they looked good in last night’s big win over the Hawks. However, it’s going to be tough to play their second game of a back-to-back set against the Grizzlies who haven’t played since Wednesday. This should be a close one, but I think the Grizzlies keep their run going with another win and cover here.
