16th win in a row for the Cavs?
Top game alert in the NBA: Tonight, the second in the West from Memphis faces the first in the Eastern Conference from Cleveland! Which current Grizzlies vs. Cavaliers tip could be worthwhile?
The hosts will look forward to the game with mixed feelings, and not just because of the guests’ strength. They have not beaten the Cavs in four games, and the top team in the Eastern Conference is currently in particularly strong form.
This is easily seen from their current winning streak of 15 games! For the clash between the Memphis Grizzlies and Cleveland Cavaliers, the prediction also includes a win for the visitors.
Memphis Grizzlies – statistics & current form
Memphis can be satisfied with the way the season has gone. Second in the Western Conference, the Grizzlies are well on course for the playoffs. One of the reasons for their success in Memphis is their strong offense. The upcoming opponents alone score more points per game on average in the NBA!
With the two most offensive teams in the league now facing each other, the betting odds of more than 242.5 points are equally tempting in the duel between the Memphis Grizzlies and Cleveland Cavaliers. Betano has granted odds and the bookmaker also allows Paypal as a deposit option for betting. The prediction is backed up by looking at the last comparison, which took place around three weeks ago and was accompanied by 252 points.
Grizzlies were already stronger at home
However, the home side’s home strength has suffered recently. More than half (5) of the last eight home games ended in defeat for the Grizzlies. Furthermore, the personnel situation in Memphis is not good at the moment.
With Jaren Jackson Jr., a particularly strong forward has been missing for five games. The 25-year-old, who was picked fourth in the 2018 draft, is likely to continue to be out with an injury, meaning the home side will be without their second-best scorer (22.7 points per game).
Cleveland Cavaliers – Statistics & current form
The Cavaliers have the best record in the NBA and their dominance is also reflected in the fact that, along with the league leaders in the West from Oklahoma, they are the only team in the NBA to win their games by an average double-digit difference (11.3).
On top of that, Cleveland is also almost unstoppable on the road: after 31 completed away games this season, Coach Kenny Atkinson’s team has an impressive 25 wins and only six defeats. The visitors are currently particularly strong on the road: they are undefeated in 15 games, and this is now the second time this season that the Cavs have managed such a streak!
“Spida” is out again against the Grizzlies
However, coach Jordi Fernandez will again be without Donovan Mitchell. The guard was recently injured and is not fit enough to make a comeback against the Grizzlies. However, Darius Garland has recently successfully filled the void.
In the last game against the Brooklyn Nets, in which Mitchell was already missing, Garland scored an impressive 30 points and, with “Spida” missing, took on a lot of additional work in offense and, given his record, efficiently. By way of comparison, his seasonal scoring average is 20.9 points.
In light of this personnel situation, the odds on Garland again scoring more than 24.5 points are also worth considering in the showdown between the Memphis Grizzlies and Cleveland Cavaliers. Bet365 offers odds and you can also bet on the mobile app from the bookmaker from the island.
Memphis Grizzlies – Cleveland Cavaliers Head to head / H2H record
The Cavs, as described at the beginning, are not the home team’s favorite opponents. The last four duels between the franchises always ended with the Ohio basketball team winning. For the upcoming game between Memphis and Cleveland, the odds are again moderately pointing towards an extension of this winning streak.
Memphis Grizzlies – Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Tip
The prediction for the game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Cleveland Cavaliers is that the guests will win. The Cavs are dominating the NBA and, with a win rate of 84.6 percent, have the best record of any team in the East or West.
Cleveland is also in particularly stable form at the moment. Since losing to Boston at the beginning of the previous month, the Cavs have not lost another game and have instead won their last 15!
Moreover, although the visitors will have to do without Donovan Mitchell, one of their top scorers, the hosts will most likely also be missing the forward Jaren Jackson Jr., who is no less important to them, due to injury. Furthermore, the home side have recently slacked at home in the FedEx Forum, which makes the Memphis Grizzlies vs. Cleveland Cavaliers tip for an away win even more appealing.
