Pelicans vs Grizzlies Prediction 11/2/2026 Today’s NBA Picks

Pelicans vs Grizzlies Prediction

The Pelicans are coming off a couple of nice wins, but we need to see it translate to road success. We also need to see consistency overall from the Pelicans, as they just don’t compete night ot night. You may be waiting for the Grizzlies to come back to earth, but they’re 6-0 SU and ATS on the season. Until the tickets stop cashing sometimes, you just ride the money train. The Grizzlies are putting money in our pocket, and that’s all we care about at the end of the day. I’ll lay the chalk with the Grizzlies at home.
