The Memphis Grizzlies and the Minnesota Timberwolves square off with a huge opportunity for the Grizzlies to reclaim momentum or the Timberwolves to take a commanding 2-0 lead in Game 2 of the seven-game series.

Minnesota took Game 1 easily, despite Memphis having a home-court advantage. The Grizzlies looked flat, rusty, and couldn’t keep their key contributors out of foul trouble. They also had no answer for a red-hot Anthony Edwards.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Wolves Game 2 predictions

The Grizzlies are going to bounce back with a ferocity the likes of which we’ve had few opportunities to see during the regular season. The Grizzlies are a great team at making adjustments and responding to adversity, so expect them to have a great Game 2. Vegas is clearly a believer in Memphis in Game 2, evident by the -300 moneyline offering pre-game.

Ja Morant will continue to amaze and play great basketball. But, he’s going to have to find his three-point stroke in Game 2. Morant thrives in the paint, but to help get the rest of the offense flowing he has to knock down some threes to keep the pain from becoming too clogged.

Jaren Jackson Jr. has to find the right balance of challenging shots and not committing fouls. He needs to find his rhythm scoring. He is going up against a far inferior opponent in Jarred Vanderbilt. Jackson should be scoring 20-25 points per game in this series.

Steven Adams will be much better in Game 2 after a disastrous Game 1. He’ll play smarter, stay out of foul trouble and get back to grabbing those offensive rebounds in Game 2.

Anthony Edwards will not be allowed another 30-point scoring game and the Wolves are not going to get easy shots from beyond the arc in this game after NBA Coach of the Year finalist Taylor Jenkins makes critical adjustments to stymie Minnesota’s three-point shot.

Game 2 Prediction: Memphis 126, Minnesota 110
