LiontipsMemphis vs Utah. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Grizzlies became the main surprise of the current season. Team performed wonderful and deserved the spot in a playoffs, though they had many difficulties along the way.
Memphis started the series against Utah with an unexpected win (112:109). It was a dream start for them, because in the regular season very few teams were able to defeat the leader of the West, especially at Vivint Smart Home Arena. Unfortunately, Grizzlies failed to repeat that result in the next game (129:141).
Third match Grizzlies played at home and they were motivated for a fight, but they were unlucky. Jazz quickly turned the game around and pull ahead in the series.
Jazzmen had a great regular season, but of course the first spot in the Western conference is not enough for a team of that level. Quin Snyder's men started the playoff with a loss, which became a cold shower for them.
Utah improved their game right away, Donovan Mitchell returned to the court, and they turned the series around. Team easily beat Memphis in the second match of the series (141:129) and they defeated Grizzlies again in the third match (121:111).
Jazz are looking comfortable on away games, but Grizzlies are unlikely to let themselves down on defense again. Overall, guests should be ready for an intensive battle.
