The Memphis Grizzlies (46-32) will visit the Charlotte Hornets (19-59) on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at Spectrum Center, with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET. The Grizzlies, currently sitting eighth in the Western Conference, are focused on securing their playoff positioning, while the Hornets, who rank 14th in the East, are simply trying to snap a three-game losing streak and close the season with momentum. Memphis comes into the matchup as the clear favorite, especially given Charlotte’s injury-plagued roster.

The Grizzlies are dealing with a few health issues of their own, including Ja Morant, who is questionable due to illness, and Brandon Clarke, who remains out for the season with a knee injury. Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. are expected to shoulder much of the load, combining for nearly 40 points and strong contributions on both ends. Charlotte, meanwhile, continues to be without LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Grant Williams, and Damion Baugh—all out with season-ending injuries. 

Check out Brad’s BEST PICKS, including his $19 PICK OF THE DAY!

Mark Williams Over 15.5 Points

Mark Williams is averaging 15.5 points per game. In addition to his scoring, Williams contributes 10.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 61.6%. Mark Williams has scored 15+ points in 6 of his last 7 games. Ever since the Hornets shut down LaMelo Ball for the season, we’ve seen Williams' scoring number gradually increase. Until oddsmakers adjust his line, there’s a lot of value in attacking the over on his points. 

Jaren Jackson Over 20.5 Points

Jaren Jackson is averaging 22.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 49.1%. ​Jackson's scoring prowess has been particularly notable, with a season-high of 42 points achieved on March 1, 2025. Jackson has scored 20+ points in 5 of his last 6 games and is coming off a game where he scored 27 points. Taking the over on Jackson Jr’s points has been a money maker for me this season when he’s been healthy. 

Miles Bridges Under 21.5 Points

Miles Bridges is averaging 20.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 43.2%. When it was announced that LaMelo Ball was going to be out for the season, I expected Bridges to step up in a big way for this Hornets team, but that just hasn’t been the case. We’ve seen him score 20 or fewer points in 8 of his last 10 games. It seems like this Hornets team is trying to get more opportunities for some of their developing players as the season winds down.
