Memphis Grizzlies vs Minnesota Timberwolves Preview

The Grizzlies are steadily getting their rhythm back

The Grizzlies enter the affair after a 28-point loss against the San Antonio Spurs as Santi Aldama erupted for a 29-point masterclass. This was their second straight win and they have now won three of the last four games. However, they have a 4-4 record in January, which has held them back from taking the second spot from the surging Rockets. At any rate, the Grizzlies have the best offense in the league as they are putting up the league-best 123.4 points per game. However, defense has been an issue as they have given up 115.1 PPG(9th worst).

The Timberwolves are in tatters

The Timberwolves come into this contest after a 7-point loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers despite a 28-point performance by Anthony Edwards. They have now lost three of their last five games, which has been a common theme throughout this season. Their defense has been stellar as they have conceded just 108 PPG(5th), however, their offense has been underwhelming, as they have scored just 110.1 PPG(9th worst). The move to bring Julius Randle has backfired thus far and may have set back the franchise that was in the West Finals last season.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Minnesota Timberwolves– Final Prediction and Additional Information

The Grizzlies are a high-scoring team meanwhile the Wolves are more of a defensive-oriented squad. However, the Timberwolves are losing their intensity on defense because of repeated failures to close out games. Thus, the Grizzlies will fancy their chances to go past 115 points. However, I believe Edwards will be on fire here and take over, making for another close game. The total can be over 230 points.

I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
