The home-team Grizzlies are coming off a big win over the then-No. 3 seed Portland Trail Blazers, 120-111. The Jazz also are coming off a strong victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, 114-10.

Entering this contest, Memphis owns the No. 14 seed out West and has won four of its last 10. Utah is the current No. 6 seed and despite having won just a single game in a row brings a 7-3 record into this one in their last 10.

These two tip off at 8:00 p.m. ET in Memphis, Tennessee.

Utah Jazz

The Utah Jazz enter this contest averaging 110.3 points per contest. That number is only good enough for 20th in the league.

In years past, this low number has been attributed to a slug-like pace, but not so much this season. Utah isn’t the same team it has been as far as Ofensive Efficiency goes.

This year, the team is just 18th in that category, posting 107.2 points per 100 possessions.

Defensively, Utah is just as good as it’s ever been thanks mostly (but not exclusively) to the Stifle Tower in the middle, Rudy Gobert.

On the season, the Jazz are allowing opponents to score just 106.8 points per night, which is good enough for fifth in the NBA.

But when looking at Defensive Efficiency—a metric that measures points scorer per 100 possessions—the Jazz jump up to No. 3 in the league behind only the No. 2 Indiana Pacers and No. 1 Milwaukee Bucks.

Memphis Grizzlies

The Grizzlies enter this contest averaging 101.4 points per night. That number is dead last in the Association, and it doesn’t get much better when looking at advanced metrics.

This season, Memphis is No. 29 (just one single spot removed from dead last once again) in Offensive Efficiency. The team scores 102.4 points per 100 possessions and is ahead of only the lowly Chicago Bulls.

Defense is a different story. Memphis is holding its opponents to 103.8 points per night and 104.5 points per 100 possessions.

Those numbers are good enough for second and sixth in the league, respectively.

Free Utah Jazz vs. Memphis Grizzlies NBA Prediction: What’s the opposite of a barn-burner?

Memphis runs the NBA’s slowest pace, while Utah is No. 14 in that category. The Jazz’s willingness to occasionally get out and run should keep this contest from being exclusively a half-court slugfest, but their inability to put the ball in the basket at a high rate makes the seven-point opening spread a bit unrealistic.

4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Grizzlies +7

It’s being reported that Rubio could be out Friday, so keep your ears open to that news. The Jazz are the better team and should walk away with the win straight up, but seven points seems excessive considering Memphis’ oddly elite defense and Utah’s oddly inefficient offense.

Give this one to the road team, but expect Memphis to keep it close throughout.

BetOnline Sportsbook Review

BetOnline is where I go when I want to get serious about the number. Early lines, high limits and a massive betting board give me more chances to find an edge before the market catches up. Football is especially strong, but there’s no shortage of props, futures, live wagering and action across the major sports. I’ve learned over the years that half a point here and ten cents there can make a hell of a difference. BetOnline gives me another place to find them. — Razor Ray
