Memphis beat the Thunder 125-118 last Sunday. The team saw a balanced scoring effort: Desmond Bane had 21, Jaren Jackson Jr. 18, Ja Morant 17, Brooks 15, Brandon Clarke and Tyus Jones with and Ziaire Williams had 11.

BETTING TRENDS
Memphis are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games.
Memphis are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against Indiana.
Indiana are 16-17-1 ATS at home.
The total has gone OVER in 3 of Indiana's last 4 games at home.
Prediction
Ja Morant is unlikely to play on this game, however the Grizzlies are 12-2 playing without him this season and the Pacers are not really a tough team to beat. Surprisingly the Pacers 8-2 in the last 10 games vs Grizzlies the thing is they're dealing with some injuries. The Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games on the road. Michael Brogdon has a chance to play today so I think the Pacers can keep it close enough to cover this spread.
PICK: Pacers +7 (-110)
