Washington Wizards vs Memphis Grizzlies Betting Preview

As the Washington Wizards (2-4) prepare to take on the Memphis Grizzlies (5-4) at the FedExForum, fans and bettors alike are gearing up for an intriguing Friday night showdown. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 PM ET, and the Grizzlies are favored with a spread of -6.5. The moneyline odds give Memphis a 69% implied win probability, while Washington sits at 31%.

The Grizzlies have been on a roll, winning three of their last four games, including a decisive 131-114 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Their strong form at home, coupled with a favorable moneyline of -250, positions them as the team to beat. Meanwhile, the Wizards have struggled, dropping three of their last five contests. Their most recent outing was a 125-112 loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Washington, however, comes into this game with a potential edge: rest. Having last played four days ago, the Wizards have had ample time to recuperate and strategize. This extra rest could prove beneficial, allowing their players to be fresher and more focused.

For those interested in player props, Jaren Jackson Jr. has been a popular choice. His points and rebounds market opened at Over 29.5 (-120) and has since moved to 30.5 (-105), indicating sharp action on the Over. Bettors seem to be banking on Jackson continuing his impressive form.

While the Grizzlies are the favorites, the Wizards' extra rest and potential for a bounce-back performance make this matchup anything but a foregone conclusion. As the game unfolds, it will be interesting to see if Washington can defy the odds or if Memphis will continue their strong run at home.
