New Orleans Pelicans vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction & Picks

The -110 for Under 242.5 points to be scored in this NBA game looks like great value. Our pick is that the teams might not collectively reach this total.

Injuries can affect the overall outcome and we use this information as well as the latest form guide. The same applies to the stats so that we can get the best understanding of how things might pan out.

Key Pelicans vs Grizzlies stats:

  • The 242.5 line hasn’t been covered in any of the last 5 Pelicans games on the road.
  • The 242.5 line hasn’t been covered in 19 of the last 20 Pelicans games on the road.
  • The 242.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 5 Pelicans games on the road.
  • The 242.5 line hasn’t been covered in 15 of the last 20 Grizzlies games at home.
