The Memphis Grizzlies'welcome the'New York Knicks'to the FedExForum Wednesday as both teams open up their seasons. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN).'Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. Grizzlies odds, and our expert NBA picks and predictions.
After finishing 37-45 last year and missing the playoffs, the Knicks expect a better campaign this season. A key part of their hopeful turnaround is the offseason signing of PG Jalen Brunson, who signed a multi-year deal from the Dallas Mavericks. New York finished the year with a 20-21 away record, playing better on the road than it did at home (17-24).
The Grizzlies finished 2nd in the West last season with a 56-26 record behind star PG'Ja Morant, who finished 7th in MVP voting in the 2021-22 season. Last season, Memphis went 30-11 at home and 26-15 on the road. Their season ended in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, giving up a 23-7 run to the Utah Jazz over the final 6 minutes of the game. Returning their young core in Morant, PF Jaren Jackson Jr., and SF'Dillon Brooks, the Grizzlies will be playing with a vengeance this season with championship hopes. Jackson Jr. is out while Brooks is doubtful.
