The Memphis Grizzlies (43-28) will face the Utah Jazz (16-56) on March 25, 2025, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The Grizzlies aim to snap a three-game losing streak, while the Jazz seek to improve their standing in the Western Conference.
Memphis has been averaging 122.1 points per game, leading the league in pace with 107.1 possessions per game. However, their defense has been lacking, allowing 119.3 points per game on the road. Utah has struggled defensively, conceding 119.8 points per game and ranking 29th in defensive efficiency. Guard Jordan Clarkson is listed as questionable due to left foot plantar fasciitis, potentially affecting the team's backcourt performance. Given the Grizzlies' offensive capabilities and the Jazz's defensive challenges, Memphis is favored to win this matchup.
Check out Brad’s BEST PICKS, including his $19 PICK OF THE DAY!
Collin Sexton Over 18.5 Points
Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton has delivered consistent offensive performances. Over 56 games, he has averaged 18.1 points, 4.2 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game, with a field goal percentage of 47.9% and a three-point shooting accuracy of 40.6%. We saw Sexton have a 30-point night just a couple of games ago against the Boston Celtics. With Clarkson out of the lineup due to injury, Sexton has had to step up when it comes to a scoring perspective. If the Jazz want any chance in this game Sexton will need to be a focal point in this team's offense on Tuesday.
Jaylen Wells Under 8.5 Points
Memphis Grizzlies forward was selected 39th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, Wells has appeared in 71 games, averaging 10.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. His shooting efficiency includes a field goal percentage of 42.7% and a three-point accuracy of 35.7%. Well’s has had some bright spots during this season but as of late his numbers have been inconsistent. He’s only scored 9+ points in 2 of his last 10 games. His recent numbers show that he’s not the main focus of this Memphis team. Let’s ride the trend and take the under on Well’s points.
Desmond Bane Over 5.5 Rebounds
Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Desmond Bane has showcased significant improvement in his rebounding abilities. Over 58 games, he has averaged 6.3 rebounds per game, totaling 364 rebounds for the season. This marks a notable increase from his 2023-24 season average of 4.4 rebounds per game. Bane's enhanced rebounding has contributed to his overall performance, where he also averages 18.9 points and 5.4 assists per game. Bane has collected 6+ rebounds in 8 of his last 10 games. Until oddsmakers bump up his rebounding line let’s take advantage of this 5.5 number.
