In Bluff City, two teams from different conferences that are much further down the standings than the teams at the top of the standings will play each other. The Atlanta Hawks are going to Memphis, TN, to play the Grizzlies on Friday night.

ATL beat Cleveland in their second game of a back-to-back on Wednesday night at home to win their second straight game. The Hawks’ record is now 28–34, and they are third in the Southeast Division, 8.5 games behind the Magic who are in first place.

Memphis Grizzlies Betting Prediction
Now we have the Hawks vs Grizzlies Betting prediction for Memphis.
Memphis came back to beat Philadelphia on the road in a game between two teams that were missing star players from their last game on Wednesday night. They were 22-41 on the season as of Thursday, and they were in fourth place in the Southwest Division, 15.5 games behind the Pelicans in first place.
In the Western Conference standings, they were 13th.

Their average of 106.2 points per game this season ranks them 30th in the league in terms of scoring efficiency. Memphis is 24th in the league in assists per game (24.9), and they are 25th in the league in boards per game (42).
The Grizzlies’ defense is above average; they give up an average of 112.5 points per game, which ranks them 9th in the league.

Memphis has problems that have made them change up their system. Brandon Clarke can’t play for a while because he tore his Achilles tendon. He hasn’t played since March 3, 2023, and he wants to be back in mid-March. Morant is out for the season with a shoulder injury. Smart (finger) hasn’t played since January 9 and won’t be able to play again until around March.
Bane hurt his ankle on January 13 against the Knicks and won’t be able to play again until late March. Rose last played on February 28 and won’t be able to play again for a while. Williams (back) hasn’t played since March 2 and won’t be able to until early April. Watanabe (wrist) hasn’t played in two games and might not be able to play here. Keep an eye on his status for details.
Hawks vs Grizzlies Betting Pick
At this point in the season, both teams are beyond hurt. The Grizzlies are missing at least three players and a number of important reserves. Atlanta doesn’t have Young as their floor general, but Murray is still in charge on both sides of the court.
The Hawks have had some problems on the road this season, but the Grizzlies are very hurt and have a terrible 7-24 record at home compared to 15-17 on the road. The Hawks still have some of their most important players on the court, so they should be able to put together enough offense to beat the league’s worst offense and win on the road.
