As part of one of the matches of the regular NBA championship, the basketball players of Memphis and Sacramento will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this match.
Memphis Grizzlies
Memphis is not to be envied. The leader of the Bears, Ja Morant, was injured. In the last match against Atlanta, he spent eight minutes on the court, after which he suffered a dislocated knee. Almost the entire meeting, the Grizzlies acted without him and lost to their opponent with a crushing score of 100:132. Most likely, the effectiveness of Memphis has significantly decreased, because there is no full-fledged replacement for Morant in the club, and it is not expected in the near future.
Sacramento Kings
After Gentry came to the coaching bridge, the Kings ran. When this specialist coached New Orleans, then his team showed a spectacular game. It looks like something similar is waiting for Sacramento. Moreover, the Kings had previously played in a similar style, but for some reason Walton decided to switch to a more defensive basketball. In the last two meetings, Sacramento showed attacking basketball, which brought the team victory in games with Portland and the Lakers.
Statistics and figures:
- Rivals have equal chances to win;
- The rivals won 2 victories in 5 meetings;
- Memphis has lost its last 2 games;
- Sacramento managed to win 2 meetings in a row;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a victory for Sacramento with a score of 90:75.
Forecast
In its current state, Sacramento will try to beat the opponent on its field. Fortunately, the "kings" are in excellent game form. Our bet will be in favor of the Kings.
