Grizzlies vs Kings Betting Pick
This game will be played at Golden 1 Center at 10:00 PM ET on Thursday, October 27, 2022.
Why Bet The Kings:
✅ The defense of the Memphis Grizzlies is putting up some serious red flags in the early portion of this season. They are allowing 123.8 points per game thus far, which is the second worst average in the league. Only the Warriors are giving up more points per game, which the Kings should be able to take advantage of here.
✅ Memphis is really struggling from a depth perspective early this season. They lost De’Anthony Melton via trade in the offseason, and are dealing with injuries to Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ziaire Williams at this point in time. Their second unit is bleak, and the Kings will take full advantage.

✅ Sacramento is 0-3 this season, but they have played a brutal schedule thus far. They have lost to the 4-1 Trail Blazers, the defending champion Warriors, and the Clippers. The Grizzlies are by no means an easy out themselves, but this is the best chance Sacramento has at a win so far, and they will take advantage of it.
Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies are 3-1 to start the season, thanks in large part to their offense. Memphis is scoring over 118 points per game, with Ja Morant and Desmond Bane each scoring 38 points against the Brooklyn Nets in their last contest. But it is the defense of the Grizzlies that will be tested in this matchup.
Sacramento has more than enough scorers to test a Memphis team that is allowing the second most points in the West this year so far. De’Aaron Fox is one of the best guards in the league, and the Grizzlies will need to find a way to slow him down if they are going to win on the road.
Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings are 0-3 to start this season, as they have not been able to overcome a tough early season schedule. Sacramento has allowed 118.7 points per game early this year, facing some of the top performing teams in the league over the first week of the year. Here, the Kings are back home, as they look to get in the win column for the first time this season.
Fortunately for the Kings, they are facing one of the worst defensive teams in the league so far this season tonight. If they can get some easy buckets and build some momentum in this game, they could easily win it outright.
