Brooklyn Nets vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction: Will the Nets beat the Western Conference outsider?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on March 5. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Nets took advantage of Trae Young's absence and beat Atlanta twice at home - 124:97 and 114:102. Thus, Brooklyn actually returned to the Eastern Conference play-in race. Now the team is only 2.0 wins behind the top ten, which is just closed by the Hawks.

It should be noted that in the course of the championship, Brooklyn has noticeably added in defense, and if they continue to progress at the same pace, they will really be able to claw their way into the playoffs. The Nets are currently allowing an average of 114.3 points per game, which is 15th in the league.

The Grizzlies, unlike the Nets, are no longer in contention for anything, sitting in 13th place in the Western Conference with 12.5 wins behind the top ten. At the same time, Taylor Jenkins' team defends better than Brooklyn - 112.8 points allowed per game and 10th in the efficiency rating. But Memphis' offense is the worst in the league - 106.1 points scored per game.

In the previous two games, Memphis failed to cope with another Western outsider, Portland, at home - 92:122 and 100:107 (95:95) in overtime. The Grizzlies' losing streak is now five games in a row.

Memphis is unable to be a competitive team this season due to a huge number of injuries. As you can see from the statistics, it mainly affects the efficiency of the offense, which the Grizzlies have the worst in the league. Brooklyn added in defense and quite probably will concede little in the upcoming game and win another important victory. Recent games show that Jacque Vaughn's team is clearly determined to make it to the play-in round at the end of the championship. We bet on Brooklyn and TU.
