Clippers vs Grizzlies Prediction & Pick
The Clippers are being led by 28-year-old Xavier Moon so far in the Summer League as he has tallied 44 points (16-of-26 shooting). It's an interesting tidbit, but one that goes to show the lack of young talent on the roster. Keep in mind that only three players on the team were drafted by LA's front office.
The Grizzlies' roster is a different story. The team has gotten steady contributions from David Roddy, Kenneth Lofton Jr. and Jake LaRavia as each player looks to earn a bench role in the NBA. They are each averaging double-digit points across five total S ummer League contests (3-2 record).
I'll back Memphis to come out on top as its scoring has been more reliably spread out on the team.
Final Score Prediction:'Clippers: 85 | Grizzlies: 94
Clippers vs Grizzlies Best Bet
Sticking with the Grizzlies to cover as a 3.5-point favorite is the best way to go. The Clippers gave up 105 points in their opening loss and then earned a win thanks to shooting woes from their opponent. Neither game inspired much confidence in the team's depth overall. Memphis 9; players have been on the court for five games together now, so look for that experience to help them gain an advantage.
