Predicted Outcome

The Memphis Grizzlies host the New Orleans Pelicans in an early-season matchup featuring two teams searching for consistency. Memphis enters as moderate favorites, with both teams having struggled out of the gate, each with only one win in their last five games[1][3].

The total is set high, reflecting both teams' offensive talent and suspect defenses, particularly New Orleans' recent defensive lapses[4].
Key Factors to Consider

Neither team is in top form, but Memphis is trending slightly better with a 3-2 ATS record in their last five games, while New Orleans is 1-4 in their last five[1][3]. Both defenses have been inconsistent, with Memphis allowing more points than the Pelicans score on average last season[2].
Limited recent head-to-head data, but the Grizzlies are 3-2 ATS in their last five against the Pelicans[1]. The Pelicans have a decent record ATS (16-7-1) but that stat is from last season[2].
No specific, impactful injury updates available in the dataβassume both teams are near full strength.
The game is at FedExForum, which gives a slight edge to Memphis, but no unusual travel or scheduling factors mentioned.
Both teams are looking to right the ship early in the season. The Pelicans have something to prove defensively, while the Grizzlies are hungry for their first home success[4].
