Two of the most fun teams to watch in the NBA will clash on Tuesday night in New Orleans. The Memphis Grizzlies have become an elite team in recent seasons, while the New Orleans Pelicans appear to be on their way to that designation in the near future. In our NBA predictions for Tuesday, we look at Grizzlies vs Pelicans in what could be the game of the night in the world of sports.
Grizzlies vs Pelicans Betting Pick
This game will be played at Smoothie King Center at 7:30 PM ET on Tuesday, November 15, 2022.
Why Bet The Pelicans:
✅ The Grizzlies are dealing with some injury concerns coming into this game with the Pelicans. Desmond Bane is doubtful to play in this game against New Orleans, while Jaren Jackson Jr. is set to return, but not for a full workload in terms of minutes. The deeper Pelicans will take advantage of that.
✅ Zion Williamson is also questionable for this game, as he might not suit up for the Pelicans with an ankle ailment. But the Pelicans will have Brandon Ingram and the rest of their weapons available, which will be too much for the Grizzlies to overcome.
✅ Only five teams have a worse record against the spread than the Memphis Grizzlies so far this season. Memphis is 5-8-1 against the number thus far, and they will continue to struggle to beat the expectations of the books here.

Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies enter Tuesday in fourth place in the Western Conference standings, going 9-5 so far this year. They enter Tuesday against New Orleans with their health being the central focus. Desmond Bane is expected to miss this game, but Jaren Jackson Jr. is expected to make his season debut in this game.
Jackson’s return will be huge for the Grizzlies on Tuesday, as well as for the rest of the season. Jackson is a quality three-point shooter and an elite defender, both of which will come in handy against New Orleans. However, we are not sure how many minutes Jackson will log here.
New Orleans Pelicans
The New Orleans Pelicans are 7-6 early this season, good for eighth place in the West. Considering that Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson have both missed games early this season, being above .500 has to be considered a success. But the Pelicans will need to win games like this one to assert themselves as legitimate contenders in the West.
Going into this contest, the big question for the Pelicans is the health of Williamson once again. He is questionable for this game due to an ankle injury. Without him, getting easy looks at the rim will be tougher, though the players on the floor will be better shooters should he miss out.
