The analysis Model

On paper, the Grizzlies dominate this matchup. The model projects Grizzlies 118 – 109 Nets, a margin of about 9.2 points in favor of the Grizzlies and a total around 227 points. Expect a game at a standard NBA pace. The Grizzlies played yesterday: fatigue often shows in the fourth quarter. The Nets will be without Egor Demin or Tyler Bilodeau. Early season: the numbers still lean heavily on last season, so confidence stays cautious.

  • The overall strength gap (-1.8 vs -8.4 pts/game) is the main factor.
  • The Nets need to win the pace battle to stay in the game.
  • The Grizzlies' offense (115.2 pts/game) is the more productive of the two.
