Memphis Grizzlies vs Washington Wizards prediction for Nov. 6
It’ll be interesting to see how the Grizzlies handle this game, considering they’ll have to face a tougher Boston Celtics team the next day. Coach Jenkins could decide to rest some key players to have them fresh for Boston.
If the team’s stars suit up for the game, then it shouldn’t be a tough night for the Grizzlies. The Wizards have been struggling as of late, having won just one of their last five games. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are gaining a small momentum after their consecutive wins against Portland and Charlotte, in which they showed major improvement on the defensive side.
The key matchup of the game will be Dillon Brooks vs Bradley Beal. Brooks played his best game of the season against the Hornets and the team will surely need him to contain a scorer of Beal’s caliber. If Dillon can be effective and either Ja or Bane have a big night, then the Grizzlies will come up victorious.
Prediction: Memphis 120, Washington 109
