The analysis Model

Slight edge to the Grizzlies, but the Clippers have what it takes to keep it close. The model projects Grizzlies 115 – 111 Clippers, a margin of about 4.6 points in favor of the Grizzlies and a total around 226 points. Expect a game at a standard NBA pace. The Clippers will be without Yanic Konan Niederhauser or Max Strus (and 3 others). Early season: the numbers still lean heavily on last season, so confidence stays cautious.

The Clippers 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.
The Clippers' defense allows clearly fewer points (111.5 pts/game).
