What to know
The Memphis Grizzlies and Atlanta Hawks meet at 20 ET ril 7 at State Farm Arena without much rest after finishing the matches yesterday. Expect the goalkeeper to be kept busy: if their past game is an indication, Memphis and Atlanta will really turn on the scoreboard on Wednesday.
A well-balanced attack led the Grizzlies over the Miami Heat every single quarter on their way to victory Tuesday. Memphis strolled past Miami with points to spare and took matchup 124-112. Little forward Dillon Brooks was the offensive standout in the game for Memphis, shooting 5-for-9 from downtown and finishing with 28 points.
Meanwhile, it was all tied 61-61 in the half for the Hawks and New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, but Atlanta stepped up in the second half to win 123-107. Atlanta point guard Trae Young looked sharp as he shot 6-for-7 over the arc and finished with a double-double of 30 points and 12 dimes. Young hadn’t helped his team much against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, so this was a good game for him.
Without blocking all sums, Memphis is expected to win tough competition. They may be worth taking a chance on against the spread, as they are currently on a series of five ATS wins.
Their victories hit Memphis to 25-23 and Atlanta to 27-24. We see which team can transfer their success and which team inevitably falls when the Grizzlies and Hawks collide.
