Brooklyn Trying to Extend Win Streak with Memphis in Town Wednesday
Both the Brooklyn Nets and the Memphis Grizzlies enter tonight’s NBA contest on brief win streak. The Nets have won three straight and the Grizzlies have taken their last two games in a row. They also have identical records in their last 10 games at 7-3. Right now, these teams are evenly matched, which is why we will back the host Nets with the win.
Nets out to gain ground in the East
Since the Eastern Conference is so bad this season, teams like Brooklyn still have an outside shot of moving into a top-four seed for the playoffs. Right now, Brooklyn sits in the sixth spot with a record of 29-29. With 17 wins at home, the Nets are enjoying playing games at the Barclays Center this season. Can they keep things headed in the right direction as the playoffs inch closer? Only time will tell.
Grizzlies on the outside looking in
Since the Western Conference is so strong this season, the Grizzlies are not in the top-eight of the standings. Instead, they are a half-game behind the Phoenix Suns for that final spot. At 34-25 overall, the Grizzlies have won two straight and are 7-3 in their last 10. To extend things a little bit further, the Grizzlies have played much better on the road than at home, which is inexplainable for most teams. Tayshaun Prince believes that the team just has better chemistry when playing on the road.
When the Nets host the Grizzlies on Wednesday night at the Barclays Center, the oddsmakers at SportsBetting.ag have the Nets as the underdogs by just two points. We think Brooklyn will add a fourth game to their current win streak, which is why we will bet 15 percent of our bankroll on the Nets and the UNDER 189 total points scored at -110 in this NBA contest.
