Get ready for an electrifying Sunday night clash as the Memphis Grizzlies take on the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smoothie King Arena. Both teams are looking to turn around their recent fortunes, making this matchup one to watch!

Grizzlies vs Pelicans Prediction

Best Betting Recommendation: Desmond Bane Under 24.5 points (-115 at bet365)

Game Analysis: Tonight's battle is set to be a thrilling contest between two teams that are currently experiencing injury troubles. Memphis’ guard Desmond Bane has been on fire, but I expect him to face a tough challenge tonight against a determined Pelicans lineup.

After snapping a frustrating four-game home losing skid with a refreshing victory over the Dallas Mavericks, the Grizzlies aim to build momentum. However, the New Orleans Pelicans have been struggling as well, losing four of their last five games, and this could potentially extend to five out of six.
