Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans: Current situation
Without much effort the Grizzlies beat the Charlotte Hornets in their latest game to extend their win streak to 4 wins in a row. This recent run of wins has gotten them to just within half a game of the 2nd seeded Rockets, they’ll need to finish with a better record to leap over them as Houston has the tie-breaker. The injuries are pilling up for Memphis though, a total of 5 players are on the injury report right now which is concerning considering the injury history this team has had.
No other team in the NBA knows more about injuries this season than the New Orleans Pelicans do. That’s really unfortunate for a team that was projected to battle for one of the top 4 seeds in the West before the season had started. Instead, they find themselves near the bottom of the Conference with just 12 wins in 44 games so far. However, things are trending in an upward direction with most of their core players coming back from injuries.
Memphis Grizzlies Stats & Form
Memphis continued their solid offensive production by putting up 132 points on the lowly Hornets on Wednesday. It was the 3rd time in their last 4 games that they’ve scored at least 129 points, they actually lead the NBA in points per game this season. With them leading by as many as 35 points, the game was in the books at half time, so the starters didn’t exert themselves too much.
New Orleans Pelicans Stats & Form
New Orleans is also on a 4-game win streak, their game on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks got postponed due to poor weather conditions. That means they had an extra day of rest in between games, it’ll be interesting to see if that makes any difference in Friday’s game. This being a road game is a concern since the Pels are just 3-16 SU in their last 19 away from home.
Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans: Head-to-Head
It’s been all Memphis over the last 5 meetings with them going 4-1 ATS/SU during that stretch. This run also includes two wins they recoded this year against the Pelicans, the one at FedEx Forum was won by double-digits. Friday’s game will be the 85th regular season meeting all-time between the two sides, New Orleans has a slight edge with 44 wins to 40 by the Grizzlies.

Betting tip and prediction: Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans (24.01.2025)
Points have been really easy to come by in the first two meetings between these teams this season. The last time they played each other we saw a total of 256 points, which could be an indicator in which direction Friday’s game will go. If we look at just the last 4 games by both teams, they rank 3rd and 6th respectively in offensive rating, putting up 123.8 and 118.3 points per 100 possessions. The over has cashed in 5 of the last 6 Pelicans games, as well as in 5 of the last 6 for Memphis. And one other factor which shouldn’t be disregarded here is the three-point shooting by both teams. Each team has a game with 20+ threes in their last 2 outings, plus percentage wise both are outperforming their season average in efficiency in their last 3 outings. Add to all this the fact that they play the 4th and 7th fastest pace with each team averaging over 102 possessions per game, we believe Friday’s game will be a fun one to watch, especially for those who favor the offensive side of the ball. With Memphis going 4-1 on the O/U in their last 5 games vs West teams and the Pelicans doing so in 8 times in their last 10, backing the points is a must here.
