*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Tuesday, April 4th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Wednesday, April 5th.
Memphis Grizzlies
With three games remaining the Grizzlies shot at the top seed is fading away given they trail Denver by two games and lost the season series. There is still a glimmer of hope but Memphis would need to win out and the Nuggets would have to lose all three remaining matches.
Meanwhile, the Kings trail the Grizz by two games and split the season series with both clubs leading their division but even if Memphis loses all remaining matches and Sacramento won out the Grizz would win the tiebreak based on the divisional win percentage.
Stats
Meanwhile, offensively, the Grizzlies score 116.7 points per game ranked ninth overall. Memphis shoot 47.4% from the field ranking 16th, and 35.1% from the perimeter ranking 22nd.
Memphis still owns the best opponent field goal percentage of 45.2% while limiting opponents to 112.6 points per game and 35.2% ranking 11th and eighth respectively.

New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans have won seven of their last nine games and arrive to this match seeded eighth, a game back of both LA teams and only a half-game up on the Wolves.

In terms of who is more invested in winning the Pelicans have more incentive given they’re still fighting for position whereas the Grizzlies know they’re likely to finish second in the West. Factor in the Grizz aren’t a great road team and it should equate to a Pelicans win and I like them to cover.
