The Western-Conference-leading New Orleans Pelicans travel to Memphis to face Ja Morant and the Grizzlies on New Year's Eve. Check out our top Pelicans-Grizzlies NBA pick based on the latest odds.
The Pelicans have won five straight and now sit tied with the Denver Nuggets atop of the Western Conference with a 23-12 record. Right behind them in the standings sit the Grizzlies with a 22-13 mark. They should be a tough opponent on Saturday, as the team boasts a 13 -3 home record in 2022-23. Both squads are 6-4 over their last 10 outings.
Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram is expected to miss Saturday's game after suffering an injury when the two clubs met in November. The streaky Pelicans have gone 12-4 in his absence. That stretch includes a seven-game winning streak, a four-game losing streak, and a five-game winning run.
Can they keep their current winning stretch alive in Memphis?
