Memphis vs Sacramento
Bracing for a Bear Rumble … Who will own the court?

Grizzlies (43-25) @ Kings (33-33)
Mar 17, 2025 | 10:00 PM ET | Golden 1 Center

The Grizzlies enter this matchup riding a strong run of form, eager to maintain momentum against a Kings squad that has dropped four straight in frustrating fashion. Both teams appear mostly healthy, with the only major missing piece being Ja Morant for the Grizzlies. Historically, Sacramento has held its own at home, but Memphis has recently turned heads in conference showdowns, upping the ante for this encounter. Factoring in their recent surge and enticing underdog odds, leaning Memphis at +110 offers solid upside, earning a B+ rating for the potential return.
The Memphis Grizzlies, riding a 5-5 run, look to keep momentum against a Sacramento Kings squad battling a four-game skid. Historically, both teams have lit up the scoreboard in previous Western Conference matchups, often threatening the 240 mark. With the Grizzlies’ explosive offense unhampered by major health concerns and the Kings relying on Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox to lift an otherwise short-handed roster, this game could escalate fast, boosting the combined total. Wagering on the Over at these odds offers a substantial return, and the high likelihood of a barn burner earns this prediction an A-.
Jarren Jackson Jr. leads Memphis into Sacramento looking to build a new winning streak, while the Kings have dropped their last four. After checking active rosters, the Grizzlies appear set to have both Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane active, and the only notable concern is whether any lingering injuries to Ja Morant, which could severely hamper scoring. On the Kings side, Zach LaVine seems healthy alongside Domantas Sabonis, but historical results show Memphis has covered in six of its last eight visits to Sacramento. Backing the Grizzlies at +2 offers a decent payoff at -111, and the gritty momentum points to a solid, though not guaranteed, B+ bet with respectable returns.
