Pelicans vs. Grizzlies Public Betting: Bettors Taking Points

Our NBA Public Betting Information page indicates that 64% of public bettors are currently backing the Pelicans when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.

Murphy continues scoring barrage

Trey Murphy accumulated 24 points (6-of-15 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks, and four 3-pointers in 45 minutes in Monday’s win over Utah. Murphy has scored 22 points or more in five of his last six appearances, with Friday’s win over Utah (19) being the exception. But the complete stat line is the more significant takeaway, as the Pelicans forward has been elite recently. Over the past two weeks, Murphy has provided top-5 value in 9-cat formats. Brandon Ingram’s continued absence has opened the door for him, and Murphy has taken advantage.

Morant struggles shooting from field

Ja Morant had 16 points (5-of-9 FGs), four rebounds, 13 assists, three steals, one block and two 3-pointers in the Grizzlies’ 132-120 victory over the Hornets on Wednesday. Morant struggled shooting from the field in Monday’s game as he went 5-of-16. The 25-year-old point guard responded by only taking nine shots Wednesday and looking for his teammates. Morant dished out 13 assists and impacted the game on the defensive end with three steals and a block. Morant will have higher scoring games in the future as he gets further away from his recent foot injury, though he was still able to have a solid out Wednesday.

Pelicans vs. Grizzlies NBA Prediction:

Take the over. The over has cashed in five out of the Pelicans’ last six games overall and in three straight. On the other side, the over has been even more profitable. In Memphis’ last 10 games, the over is 7-2-1. That includes hitting in five out of the Grizzlies’ last six games.

Pelicans vs. Grizzlies Betting Prediction: OVER 241
