Memphis Grizzlies vs Chicago Bulls Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/23/24

It is an encouraging sign for the Memphis Grizzlies that they are 2-1 SU over their last 3 games, with so many important players dealing with injuries right now. Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane have been carrying this team in the absence of Ja Morant, Marcus Smart and Zach Edey. The Grizzlies will be seeking revenge against a Chicago Bulls team that beat them 126-123 in the first meeting of the season back in late October. Chicago went on a roll from 3-point range in that game, connecting on 25 from long distance, surely the Grizzlies can prevent that from happening again tonight?

The Bulls come into this game following a 136-122 win over Atlanta on Friday, so they’ll be playing their 2nd game in 2 nights. Once again they caught fire and made 19 triples, while also shooting 57% from the field. However, a performance like that against a team like Atlanta shouldn’t surprise anyone as the Hawks are one of the worst defenses in the NBA and they like to play an up tempo style. Playing Memphis will be a much tougher challenge, especially on a 2nd night of a back-to-back. In this scenario, the Bulls went just 7-7 last season.

With a roster depleted by injuries, I doubt the Grizzlies will want to go blow for blow with the fastest team in the NBA here. Look for the Grizzlies to rely on their defense to get a result here, so let’s back the under.
