Chicago Bulls vs Memphis Grizzlies: Current situation
A high pace and average at best efficiency are the 4 words that best describe this season’s Chicago Bulls team. They average 104.6 possessions per game, while ranking just 22nd in offensive rating with 110.3 points per 100 possessions scored. So it’s no real surprise they are just 6-10 on the season and only 1-5 in home games. Injuries have also taken a toll on them, right now they have a total of 5 players on the injury report.
The entire 2023-24 season for the Memphis Grizzlies was ruined by injuries and although they’ve bounced back in decent fashion with a 9-7 record after 16 games, they still remain without Ja Moran, Marcus Smart and Zach Edey for the time being. Jaren Jackson Jr. continues to be a focal point of the offense for this team. With his 22.9 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, he is well on his way to being an All-Star yet again. Oddly enough he averages more points in road games as opposed to when playing at home.
Chicago Bulls Stats & Form
The last 10 days or so for the Chicago Bulls have not been good. Apart from the win over Detroit last Monday, the Bulls have lost 3 of their last 4 games by double-digits. They play their next 2 games at home and normally that would be an encouraging factor, but not for Chicago as they have just 1 victory in 6 games at the United Center this season. Point guard Lonzo Ball remains out, while Coby White and Torrey Craig are questionable to play here.
Memphis Grizzlies Stats & Form
Memphis is coming off a dominant win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Even though the final score of 117-111 might not indicate that, the Grizzlies led by as many as 19 points in that game. Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane led the scoring with 25 and 21 points respectively, but more importantly 3 other bench players contributed with double-digit points. Depth is one of the key reasons why the Grizzlies are 9-7 after 16 games, despite not having their best player Ja Morant available for long stretches of the season already.
Chicago Bulls vs Memphis Grizzlies: Head-to-Head
It’s been a 50-50 split over the last 10 meetings between the Bulls and Grizzlies, both in the wins but also in the covering the spread department. This will be the 2nd and final meeting of the season, due to the fact that these teams are in opposite conferences. Interestingly enough, Chicago is currently on a 4-game win streak, they swept the regular season series last year. The first meeting this season was played at the very end of October, with the Bulls coming out on top in a high scoring affair 126-123.

Betting tip and prediction: Chicago Bulls vs Memphis Grizzlies (23.11.2024)
The Grizzlies defense has been shaky lately, especially with their rim protector Zach Edey out of the line-up. Chicago playing the fastest pace in the NBA should likely result in another high scoring game here, similar to the first meeting of the season where we saw a combined 249 points scored. Both teams do a solid job at defending the perimeter, ranking in the top 10 of opposing three-point percentage this season. However, paint protection has been a issue that has plagued the Chicago Bulls all year long, they are dead last in the NBA in opponent points in the paint allowing 58.6 per game. That number has increased to 61.3 per game over their 3 most recent games, the Grizzlies are at 53.3 per game during the same stretch. Memphis absolutely destroyed the Bulls in the paint in the first meeting of the season, racking up 70 points down low, so don’t be surprised if Jaren Jackson Jr. has another big game here. This is a match-up of the 1st and 3rd ranked offenses in terms of pace, so get ready for a high scoring and highly entertaining game here. Back the over.
