Grizzly Bear Blues: for Memphis Grizzlies fans

A tough win against the Knicks on Sunday will hopefully motivate and push the Grizzlies forward tonight against the Timberwolves.

Grizzlies -2.5

O/U 231.5

Ja Morant O/U 30.5 points

Anthony Edwards O/U 25.5 points

Grizzlies TT 116.5 points

The red hot Sacramento Kings come to town tonight to face a Grizzlies team with again a full injury report. Jaren Jackson Jr will look to take some offensive responsibility away from Dillon Brooks, who took a career high 30 shots against the Nets on Sunday night. The Kings on the other hand, are firing on all cylinders with the current longest win streak in the NBA at 6 games. It will prove to be a tough one tonight for Memphis, and we discuss all types of bets including:

Grizzlies +1

O/U 234.5

JJJ O 16.5 points

Kevin Huerter O 2.5 threes

Kings TT O/U 117.5

In Embrace Debate, Charles Barkley said last week that the next part of Ja Morant's elevation to his game would be making his teammates better, which was met with plenty of pushback from Grizzlies Twitter. Xavier and Matt both believe that Chuck’s comments resulted from him not watching enough Memphis games and that Morant does elevate his teammates. However, Dave believes we need to listen to the legends of our game and not be so quick to dispel Barkley's criticism.

Next, in Xavier X&O’s, the guys look at the injuries to Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Desmond Bane. Who can step up in their absences? Xavier wants Dillon Brooks to continue to be aggressive offensively while Matt wants to see Tyus keep the ship afloat. Dave wonders whether Jackson being in and out of the lineup is helpful to the team or is disrupting the flow they built early this season.

Down in Kleiman Corner, Dave asks if the time to trade for a big star is now with the Western Conference so wide open. Adding another big-name scorer could ease the load for the Grizzlies' backcourt but Matt and Xavier believe the big game hunting won’t come until the offseason. Could a swing at another solid role player help get the Grizzlies over the hump?

To finish the show, the guys revisit their NBA Title Contenders ranked by the College Football Playoff committee after having Milwaukee, Cleveland, Boston, and Denver in the top spots a week ago. Boston has continued to impress while a new Western Conference team has entered the mix.

Matthew Gill is filling in once again to bring you the betting preview for tonight's matchup between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Brooklyn Nets. Gill starts the show recapping the picks from Friday's game against the Thunder before getting into the spread and total for Sunday. Gill likes the value with the short-handed Grizzlies tonight getting 7.5 points, despite the struggles they may have scoring which is covered by looking at the Memphis team total of 107.5. Then, looking at some player props, who will step up in the absence of Morant and Bane? Many believe Dillon Brooks will be carrying the heavier workload but Gill is loading up on Tyus props. To finish up, Gill gives his +800 same-game parlay with all his favorite picks.

On this week's episode of the Nxt Gen Podcast, I am joined by Xavier Dotson of GBB's Core four podcast. First we discuss all aspects of Jaren Jackson Jr's return including, his performance on both ends of the floor, how he looked physically, and what he can do to get his offense going.

Then, they look ahead to Today's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The first Ja Morant vs Shai Gilgeous-Alexander matchup of the season should be a great one. Alexander has scored 37,37, and 42 in his last three games while Morant is coming off a big performance in New Orleans. All of that and more on this week's episode!
