Memphis Grizzlies vs Toronto Raptors Main Match Info

Memphis Grizzlies vs Toronto Raptors Moneyline Prediction

The Raptors have been dealing with numerous injuries, but several players stepped up in their 121-107 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. Toronto has gone 3-3 over its last six outings but should welcome a return to Scotiabank Arena, where it has a 2-1 record this season and has won four of its last five.

The Grizzlies have been solid defensively overall, allowing 111.8 points per game, the 11th-best mark in the NBA. However, their 128-97 home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder extended their losing skid to three games. They’ve allowed more than 125 points in two of those defeats.

The Grizzlies’ recent form has been underwhelming, while the Raptors have done a good job adjusting their rotation in the absence of several key players. Home court could be the deciding factor in a battle between two teams that are evenly matched in net rating (Toronto 5.6, Memphis 5.8).

Memphis Grizzlies vs Toronto Raptors Player Prop

Barrett is likely to take on a larger offensive workload with Kawhi Leonard out and Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley also potentially sidelined. He stepped up in a big way on Friday, recording a season-high 27 points in the win over the Bucks.

Barrett has surpassed the 24.5-point line in two of his last three outings. An increase in his usage rate should improve his chances of clearing this mark. He’s expected to serve as the team’s undisputed No. 1 offensive option for the time being.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Toronto Raptors Same Game Parlay

I’m backing the Raptors to cover the -2.5 spread because they have done so in each of their five wins this season. They also face a Memphis team that’s starting a four-game road trip while riding a three-game losing streak. The Grizzlies’ defence has slipped slightly recently, allowing 115.6 points per game over their last five outings.

The under also makes sense, as Memphis ranks eighth in defensive rating (108.6), while Toronto sits 11th (110.9). Five of the Raptors’ nine outings have finished below the 228.5-point mark, as have three of the Grizzlies’ last five, including their last two.

Cameron Boozer could struggle against an above-average defence, so the under on his points also looks sound. The rookie has failed to reach the 18-point mark in his last two appearances and is shooting just 33.9% from the field this season.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Toronto Raptors Team News

Memphis Grizzlies Team News

The Grizzlies are dealing with a few injuries, although the absences are not expected to have a major impact on the rotation. Isaiah Stewart (knee), Scotty Pippen (back), and Richie Saunders (knee) are all considered bench options at best.

One player to watch for the Grizzlies is star playmaker Ty Jerome. The 29-year-old point guard is averaging 26.6 points, 5.3 assists, 2.5 threes, and 0.9 steals per game while shooting 50.3% from the field.

The Grizzlies last played on Friday and had the weekend off. This will be their first road outing following a four-game homestand in which they went 1-3.

Toronto Raptors Team News

The Raptors are without Leonard because of a left knee injury, and they could also be missing Barnes (adductor) and Quickley (hamstring). Both were limited participants in Sunday’s practice and are considered game-time decisions for Monday. If all three are unavailable, Toronto would be without three of its best four players.

With Barnes and Quickley potentially sidelined, Collin Murray-Boyles and Jamal Shead could take on bigger roles in the rotation, while Ja’Kobe Walter should continue to start in place of Leonard.

The Raptors last played on Friday, so, like the Grizzlies, they’ll have two full days of rest before this matchup. They return home after a four-game road trip during which they went 2-2.
