Memphis Grizzlies - Indiana Pacers: betting tip and bets on the NBA match

Current form

Memphis started the season with mixed success. After a landslide victory over New Orleans in the opening game, they received a resounding slap in the face from the Miami Heat right in their arena — 114:146. The score, of course, is not for the faint of heart. The team's balance is 1 win and 1 loss, sixth place in the West. In that match, the Grizzlies seemed to have forgotten how to defend: Miami tore them apart with speed and accurate shots, taking the game into the lead by the big break — minus 39 points.

But not everything is so gloomy. Jaren Jackson Jr. was on top with 19 points and a solid defense under the ring. Rookie Cedric Coward pleasantly surprised, scoring 16 points and shooting confidently from behind the arc. But team leader Ja Morant failed: only 12 points, 4 of 16 from the game.

Memphis is averaging 107.8 points per game (statistics from the last ten games).

Indiana got off to a dramatic start with a 135-141 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in two overtimes. The game on October 24 in Indianapolis was a real thriller, almost a revenge for last year's final. Without key players Tyrese Haliburton and T.J. McConnell— the Pacers showed their teeth anyway. Benedikt Matyurin became the hero of the evening: 36 points, 11 rebounds, aggression on the court — until he left with five fouls in the first overtime.

Pascal Siakam did not disappoint either: 32 points, 15 rebounds and that incredible step-back through Chet Holmgren, who sent the match into overtime. Obi Toppin, Ben Sheppard and Jarras Walker added power to the attack, but in the end, Indiana did not have enough strength or players — fouls and fatigue did their job. 

Interesting facts for betting

Indiana scores an average of 110.4 points per game (statistics for the last ten games).
