Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction 3/12/25 NBA Picks

The Utah Jazz pay a visit to the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedExForum on Wednesday night. Here’s a Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction. This article will include a Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies Pick.

The Utah Jazz have been in a slump as they've lost 13 of their last 16 games overall. They will be eager to put a halt to a six-game losing streak after falling just short to the Celtics in a 114-108 road defeat on Monday. John Collins led the team with 28 points and 10 rebounds, Brice Sensabaugh added 22 points with five assists off the bench while Collin Sexton chipped in with 16 points and 13 assists. As a team, the Jazz shot 45 percent from the field and 13 of 38 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight to claw their way back from a 24-point deficit. Only to allow the Celtics to go on a crucial 9-2 run to slip away in the end. 

Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies haven't been at their best lately, but they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after outlasting the Suns in a 120-118 home win on Monday. Ja Morant led the team with 29 points and 12 assists on nine of 13 shooting, Cam Spencer added 16 points off the bench while GG Jackson and Jay Huff scored 14 points each. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 46 percent from the field and 17 of 46 from the 3-point line as they poured in 38 points in the third quarter to overcome an early 16-point deficit. They did just enough in the fourth quarter to maintain a narrow lead till the final buzzer. Jaylen Wells had a rough game as he shot just one of nine from the field and zero of five from the 3-point line to finish with just two points. 

Why the Memphis Grizzlies will win

• The Jazz have lost each of their last 12 road games against Western Conference opponents.
• The Grizzlies have won 16 of their last 18 home games against teams that held a losing record.
• The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in each of their last five games as road underdogs against Western Conference opponents.
• The Grizzlies have covered the spread in seven of their last eight night games against the Jazz following a home win.

Why the Utah Jazz will win

• The Grizzlies have lost four of their last five games at FedExForum.
• The Jazz have won two of their last three games as underdogs against Western Conference opponents following a loss.
• The Grizzlies have failed to cover the spread in each of their last seven home games.
• The underdogs have covered the spread in five of the Grizzlies' last six games at FedExForum.

The Jazz are still keeping eyes on Jordan Clarkson, Lauri Markkanen, and Jaden Springer, who are all questionable, while the Grizzlies have ruled Brandon Clarke and Zach Edey as questionable for this meeting. The season really couldn't end quickly enough for the Jazz, who can't buy a win these days, but it's not like they have been terrible. They were able to erase a 24-point lead against the Celtics in their last game. The Grizzlies were really struggling before their narrow win over the Suns on Monday, and they are still missing Jaren Jackson Jr, who has been rock solid for them all season. I think the Grizzlies pulled away late for the comfortable win, but I just feel that the line is just a bit too generous for a Grizzlies team still struggling.
