New York Knicks vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction: Will the Knicks experience no problems?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on February 7. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Julius Randle, once again selected to the All-Star Game, was injured against Miami (125:109) and is out for about 2-3 weeks. Without Randle, the Knicks have already played four games and initially won three straight, beating Charlotte (113:92), Utah (118:103), and Indiana (109:105). But then the team couldn't stop LeBron James and his Los Angeles Lakers (105:113).

Thus, the New York series of nine wins in a row was interrupted. The progress of the Knicks is obvious, and, above all, we should talk about the defense. The New Yorkers are allowing only 109.3 points per game on average and have moved to second place in the defensive rating.

In addition to Randle, the Knicks are also missing O.J. Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson, but what about the Grizzlies, who have been playing with an experimental lineup for most of the season? The injury list includes the entire roster - Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart, and Jaren Jackson, whose participation in the upcoming game is questionable.

Memphis lost to Boston in the previous game, suffering its fourth consecutive defeat - 91:131.

New York will have to play not with Memphis but with a hastily assembled team of Grizzlies reserves. The Knicks are in great shape now and are unlikely not to take advantage of the guests' severe problems. Accordingly, we bet on a convincing victory for New York and Memphis' total under, given the absence of all normal scorers and progress in the defence of the Knicks.
