Bookmakers do not believe in Washington success at all. BC experts consider Memphis to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match. The Wizards are close to repeating their anti-records of the last championship this season. There are no prerequisites for the team from the US capital to improve their game. The Grizzlies will have to achieve a convincing victory over a not very formidable opponent on their home court.
Our prediction is a Memphis victory with a handicap of (-3.5) points, taking into account overtime at 1.70

Our prediction is under 225.5 points including overtime at 2.35
Bet on the player
Jackson played 66 games in the 2023/24 regular season and averaged 22.9 points per game. His rate is slightly lower this season — 19.1. The 25-year-old forward has demonstrated with his game that he is capable of maintaining a decent level of scoring. The American basketball player will have to demonstrate his sniper skills this time around.
Our prediction is Jackson total points over 21.5 including overtime at 1.87
