Brooklyn NetsÂ
The Brooklyn Nets have been doing it tough as they’ve lost four of their last five games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back here after coming up short to the Bucks in a 118-113 loss on Sunday. Dennis Schroder led the team with 34 points and 11 assists on 13 of 19 shooting, Cameron Johnson added 26 points while Nic Claxton chipped in with 21 points, 10 rebounds, three steals, and two blocks. As a team, the Nets shot 50 percent from the field and 16 of 35 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight to take a five-point lead in the fourth quarter, only to see the Bucks close the final 4:14 on a 20-10 run to snatch the game from them. The Nets will meet the Cavs, Raptors, and Jazz after this game.
Memphis GrizzliesÂ
Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies have been on a tear as they’ve won nine of their last 10 games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after blowing past the lowly Wizards in a 140-112 road win on Sunday. Jaren Jackson Jr led the team in scoring with 21 points in just 17 minutes of action, Santi Aldama added 19 points off the bench, Jay Huff scored 17 points while Scotty Pippen Jr tallied 14 points with 12 assists. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 52 percent from the field and 17 of 43 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 72 points in the first half to take the early lead, before they exploded for 39 points in the third quarter to lead by as many as 35 points.Â

Brooklyn Nets vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
The Nets are still missing Bojan Bogdanovic, Cam Thomas, and Ziarie Williams, while the Grizzlies are still without Zach Edey and Vince Williams Jr. The Nets come into this meeting desperate for a win to get back on track and they were more than competitive in their narrow loss to the red-hot Bucks on Sunday, but the Grizzlies are clear favorites in this one and they could easily blow this one out if they play as well as they did in their last outing where they smashed the Wizards. I’m sure the Grizzlies will win relatively comfortably at home, but I think the Nets are good enough to hang around and keep it within single digits in the end.
