Memphis Grizzlies vs New York Knicks Prediction 1/27/25 NBA Picks

The Memphis Grizzlies invade Madison Square Garden to battle the New York Knicks on Monday night. Here’s a Memphis Grizzlies vs New York Knicks Prediction. This article will include a Memphis Grizzlies vs New York Knicks Pick.

The Memphis Grizzlies are starting to heat up as they've lost eight of their last 10 games overall and they will be gunning for a seventh straight victory after smashing the Jazz in a 125-103 home win on Saturday. Jaren Jackson Jr led the team with 28 points on 10 of 14 shooting, Zach Edey added 19 points with seven rebounds and four blocks while Desmond Bane chipped in with 17 points, nine rebounds, and six assists. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 51 percent from the field and 14 of 38 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Jazz from the start, pouring in 65 points in the first half, before they clamped down and held the Jazz to just 17 points in the third quarter to lead by as many as 27 points. 

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks have been in fine form as they've won six of their last nine games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after smashing the Kings in a 143-120 home win on Saturday. OG Anunoby led the team with 33 points on 12 of 18 shooting, Mikal Bridges added 27 points, Jalen Brunson tallied 25 points with 11 assists while Josh Hart racked up a triple-double of 20 points with 18 rebounds and 11 assists. As a team, the Knicks shot 49 percent from the field and 17 of 36 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 38 points in the first quarter and just kept their foot on the gas right to the end to come away with one of their most dominant wins of the season. 

Why the New York Knicks will win

• The home team has won each of the Grizzlies' last four games.
• The Grizzlies have lost each of their last four night games against Knicks teams that held a winning record.
• The favorites have covered the spread in eight of the last 10 games between the Grizzlies and Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
• The Grizzlies have failed to cover the spread in three of their last four night games against Knicks teams that held a winning record.

Why the Memphis Grizzlies will win

• The Grizzlies have won each of their last 10 night games against Eastern Conference opponents.
• The Knicks have lost 10 of their last 11 night games against Southwest Division opponents that held a winning record.
• The Grizzlies have covered the spread in each of their last 10 night games against Eastern Conference opponents.
• The Knicks have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six night games against Southwest Division opponents that held a winning record.

The Grizzlies are keeping an eye on Jake LaRavia and Santi Aldama who are both questionable, while the Knicks will be sweating on the availability of Josh Hart who is questionable with knee soreness. The Grizzlies have sprung to life with six wins in a row, and you could almost say the same about the Knicks who dominated the Kings for their third straight win on Saturday. It's hard to split these two teams at the moment and this is the first meeting this season, but the Knicks would've gained so much confidence from their big win on Saturday and I think they can keep it going with another win and cover at the short line.
