Grizzlies vs Clippers
Momentum says Memphis, but LA’s stars still make it a sweat.

Grizzlies (11-14) VS Clippers (6-19)
December 15, 2025 | 10:30 PM ET | Intuit Dome (Inglewood, California)


Ja Morant steps into this one with Memphis trending the right way (7-3 in the last 10) while the Clippers try to snap a 3-game skid, and that recent separation matters even with the game in Inglewood. The Grizzlies’ injury list is real—especially Zach Edey being out—but Morant’s playmaking plus Jaren Jackson Jr.’s two-way impact travels, and both have a track record of producing against this opponent. On the other side, Los Angeles still has the “best player on the floor” argument with Kawhi Leonard (and Harden’s creation), yet with Bradley Beal out for the season and the Clippers struggling to close games lately, I’ll take the plus-money value on the hotter team to steal it late.

Kawhi Leonard can absolutely turn this into a shot-making contest, but the recent shape of this matchup has leaned more grind than track meet, and the current injury landscape points to more empty trips than fireworks. Memphis has been winning with defensive stretches and rebounding advantages even while shorthanded up front, and without Edey available, the Grizzlies are more likely to patch possessions together than dominate efficient paint scoring. Add in that these teams have already produced a lower-scoring meeting recently, plus Los Angeles’ ongoing late-game scoring issues during this skid, and I’m looking for the pace to land just under the number.

Jaren Jackson Jr. is the kind of matchup problem that keeps Memphis live on the scoreboard for 48 minutes, and with the Grizzlies playing better basketball recently (7-3 last 10) while the Clippers slide (2-8 last 10, currently L3), grabbing the points fits the way both teams are arriving here. Even with Memphis missing key rotation pieces (notably Edey and multiple guards/wings on the injury report), the Grizzlies’ ability to defend and create second chances has shown up in this series already, and Jackson’s history of production versus LA helps the cover case if the game gets tight late. Meanwhile, the Clippers’ star power can win the game outright, but their current form plus missing Beal makes margin-building a tougher ask—so I’ll take Memphis +3.5. Odds and availability are subject to change. This bet was made at 15/12/2025 09:49am
