Indiana Pacers vs Memphis Grizzlies NBA Preview
The Pacers started with a loss, but a very uplifting one.
They had an NBA Finals rematch against the Thunder without three players that were essential to their success: Tyrese Haliburton (out for the season), Myles Turner (now with the Bucks) and T.J. McConnell (out for three weeks with a hamstring injury).
Despite all that, Indiana took OKC to overtime with a fantastic 36-point performance from Bennedict Mathurin, along with Pascal Siakam's 32 points.
The Pacers will try to get their first win against the Grizzlies, who will have to play the second game of a back-to-back after losing horribly to the Heat last night.
Miami scored 86 points in the first half, and the only good news for Memphis was that such a lopsided score forced them to rest most of their key players in the second half.
The Grizzlies will have to figure out who they are in this first full season under head coach Tuomas Iisalo and without shooting guard Desmond Bane, now with the Magic.
As always, most of their success will depend on star Ja Morant, and tonight will be a great early test.
The Pacers, with a day of rest and motivated to prove themselves, will present a serious challenge.
Our Bet Labs system recommends backing Indiana on the road.
Pacers vs Grizzlies Betting Predictions, Analysis
The Road Comeback system identifies NBA road teams positioned for a bounce back after a recent loss, taking advantage of the market’s tendency to undervalue teams following defeats.
When a team loses by any margin in its previous game and plays again on the road immediately, it often responds with sharper focus and renewed energy.
Short travel stretches and single road starts help minimize fatigue while maintaining rhythm.
Public betting tends to fade these teams, driving value on the moneyline within moderate favorite ranges where the talent gap still favors the road side.
Historically, these teams show resilience and motivation after defeat, translating into profitable rebounds during the regular season as they aim to reestablish momentum and avoid extended losing streaks.
