This game will be played at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse at 7:30 PM ET on Thursday, February 2, 2023.
Why Bet the Cavaliers:
✅ Memphis is on the second leg of a back to back here after losing at home to the Trail Blazers last night. They have been struggling mightily, and that will continue on the road at a disadvantage from a rest perspective.
✅ This is not a good night for the Grizzlies to be without Steven Adams. The injured big man of the Grizzlies would have come in handy against the duo of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley, who should run roughshod over the Grizzlies on the interior.
✅ Cleveland is 21-6 at home on the season, and they will continue to play at a high level on their home court here.

Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies have lost six of their last seven games, after falling on Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. They were expected to come home and get back to their winning ways after struggling on a recent road trip, but that was not the case against Portland. Now the Grizzlies are back on the road and will need to get their act together against the Cavaliers.
Here, it will be interesting to see who suits up for the Grizzlies. Desmond Bane just returned from injury, and he could be rested to avoid any reaggravation on the second night of a back to back. But even with everyone available, the Grizzlies have a losing record on the road this season.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers lost their last game at home, falling against the Miami Heat in a tight contest. They were slowed down by a similarly elite defense in that game, and will hope to get their offense back on track against a struggling Grizzlies team here.
Cleveland has been incredible at home this year, coming into this game at 21-6 at home on the season. To get back into the win column at home in this game, they will need to find a defensive answer for Ja Morant. The Cavs are great at protecting the paint, but their guards need to find a way to prevent him from getting there in the first place to maximize their chances of winning.
