The Memphis Grizzlies travel to take on the Sacramento Kings in tonight’s second game of the NBA TV double header. The hosts have been one of the surprise teams this season making this unexpectedly a clash between 2 of the top 3 teams in the Western Conference. While there are 6 games separating the sides at the moment, the Kings could begin closing that gap with a win tonight. The Grizzlies currently lead the season series 2-1, with the Kings likely to be desperate to even things out on their home floor.
Check out the Same Game Parlay I have put together for the game below. Be sure to take a look at the rest of our'NBA picks, too.
The game total tonight is currently set at 246.5 points. This total that hasn't been surpassed in their previous 3 meetings. The Grizzlies and Kings have posted totals of 235, 222, and 226 in their 3 meetings this season. The under hit in each of those games with Jaren Jackson Jr.'s presence in the last 2 games making a significant impact. Memphis is the best defensive team in the NBA with Jackson Jr. on the floor, leading the association with a 109.2 defensive rating. The Kings rank 25th on the season in defensive rating (114.9) but have held the Grizzlies in check for the most part. The hosts are also just 17th in pace over the last 10 games. Look for them to slow down the pace at home tonight, especially considering how dangerous Ja Morant can be in transition.
