However, I am confident the Grizzlies realize the importance of catching a win tonight and I expect Memphis’s All-Star duo to play. As the leading candidate for Defensive Player of the Year and one of the best players on one of the best teams, it is not unreasonable that he was selected. For Memphis to get back on track and contend come playoff time, the Grizzlies’ three-point shooting must be better. Green is a career 39.9% three-point shooter and brings a veteran presence to the court that the youngsters could certainly use. Against Indiana, Jackson shot 12/19 from the field and 3/8 from beyond the arc. His impact on defense is game-changing, and he was sorely missed in Thursday’s loss to the Cavaliers. For the first time in franchise history, the Memphis Grizzlies have two players in the All-Star game. How can the Grizzlies get back on track? With the trade deadline rapidly approaching, the Raptors have been at the center of trade rumors. The Grizzlies last faced the Toronto Raptors on December 29. The Grizzlies have lost seven of their last eight games and have not won a road game since January 14. Fortunately, Memphis returns to the Grindhouse tonight.

As for total results on the season, Memphis is the second best Under bet in basketball at 23-27-2 O/U, including 1-7 O/U in the last eight games, but 12-11-2 O/U inside the FedExForum. Toronto is 14-6 Over/Under in non-conference games this season – a 70% Over winner. Both Adams and Jackson were in action and the Raps shot just 41% from the floor, including a 10-for-28 day from beyond the arc. These teams played each other at the end of December, with Memphis winning 119-106 in Toronto which stayed Under the closing total of 230.5 points. Those woes have been extrapolated over the past 10 outings, with Toronto watching opponents shoot close to 51% from the floor and average 116.5 points per game in that span – a tick up from the season average of just 111.7 before that skid. The Raps aren’t great at taking their own medicine, ranked out Bottom 5 in points allowed per play to transition attacks while watching those offenses push for a scoring frequency of 53.1%. This current slide has dropped Memphis to 24-26-2 ATS on the season, including a 15-9-1 ATS mark inside FedExForum. The Grizzlies forward rotation could be a mess tonight with Adams and Brooks out for sure. I expect the Raptors to lean on a snubbed Siakum to do damage inside, especially if Jackson is out or slowed by injury. Toronto is also trying to find consistency in the dead of winter. Despite that recent downtick, Siakum is enjoying a career year in terms of offensive output, averaging just under 25 points per game while firing at a 47% clip and playing an NBA-high 37.7 minutes an outing. Memphis is trying to get right in the midst of a dismal 1-7 SU stretch (2-6 ATS) that goes back to January 20, but that’s easier said than done.

Green, Desmond Bane, Ziaire Williams, David Roddy and John Konchar should make up the wing rotation. Even though Toronto (24-30) is underperforming based on preseason expectations, it is still a capable team led by Fred VanVleet, Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam.
