Knicks vs. Grizzlies Prediction, Odds & How to Watch – Wednesday, April 1

The New York Knicks (48‑28) head to FedExForum on Wednesday night to face the Memphis Grizzlies (25‑50) in a game that feels like a must‑win for New York. After clinching a top‑six playoff seed, the Knicks have stumbled into a three‑game losing streak, dropping contests to Oklahoma City, Houston, and Atlanta.

Josh Hart called this matchup “a must‑win” as the team looks to regain momentum with only a handful of regular‑season games left. Memphis, meanwhile, has endured a brutal stretch, losing 14 of its last 16 and struggling to find consistency at home.

Ja Morant remains sidelined, and the Grizzlies’ roster has been riddled with injuries, leaving them vulnerable against a Knicks team desperate to bounce back. Historically, New York has dominated this matchup, winning five straight against Memphis, and enters as heavy favorites with a -14.5 spread.

The question is whether the Knicks can shake off their recent slump and cover against a struggling Grizzlies squad.

Best Bet for Knicks vs. Grizzlies

Best Bet: New York Knicks -14.5 (-110) at BetMGM Sportsbook

The Knicks have been inconsistent ATS lately, going just 1‑5 in their last six, but this matchup sets up favorably for them to cover. New York has dominated Memphis, winning five straight SU and going 4‑1 ATS in those contests.

The Grizzlies are 2‑14 SU in their last 16 games and 0‑6 ATS in their last six at home against the Knicks, highlighting their struggles against Eastern Conference opponents. While the Knicks’ offense has sputtered in recent outings, their defense remains strong, and Memphis has been unable to generate consistent scoring without Morant.

The total has trended UNDER in New York’s road games, but Memphis has leaned OVER in four of its last five, creating some volatility. Still, the Knicks’ urgency, combined with their historical dominance in this matchup, makes them the best bet to cover the -14.5 spread.

Expect New York to lean on Jalen Brunson’s scoring and Josh Hart’s energy to set the tone early, while Memphis’ depleted roster struggles to keep pace.

Same‑Game Parlay Picks

3‑Leg SGP (Safer)

Jalen Brunson Over 25.5 Points
Knicks -14.5 Spread
Under 228 Total Points

Combined Odds: +275

This safer parlay ties Brunson’s scoring with the Knicks’ ability to cover and the game trending under. If Brunson leads the offense and Memphis struggles to score, the Knicks should win comfortably in a lower‑scoring affair.

Longshot SGP

Julius Randle Over 22.5 Points
Ja Morant Under 20.5 Points (if active)
Knicks Win by 20+ Points

Combined Odds: +650

This longshot parlay banks on Randle dominating inside and Memphis failing to generate offense. If the Knicks control the paint and pace, a blowout win by 20+ points is possible, especially given Memphis’ recent struggles.
