Jazz vs Grizzlies prediction<\/p>\n

Jazz vs Grizzlies best bet: Lauri Markkanen Over 23.5 points (-105)<\/p>\n

Lauri Markkanen<\/a> has been a solid player over the last few years, but he\u2019s taken to a different level in 2025-26. The veteran is averaging a career-high 26.7 ppg, serving as the Utah Jazz<\/a>\u2019s best player.<\/p>\n

Markkanen has cashed the Over in points in three of his last six, and he\u2019s averaging 25.5 points per contest on the road. In fact, those three games in which he scored exactly 27 points were all away from Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n

Most notably, he\u2019s up against a weak Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> team, whom he already dropped 26 points against on December 12.<\/p>\n

Jazz vs Grizzlies same-game parlay<\/p>\n

Isaiah Collier<\/a> has emerged as a nice piece for the Jazz, averaging 10.4 ppg. He\u2019s hit the Over in points in five of his last seven, and Collier scored 15 in his last game before the break.<\/p>\n

Keyonte George won\u2019t play tonight, which means Collier will get a bigger workload.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re looking at two teams who aren\u2019t exactly elite defensively, and it\u2019s shown in recent meetings. Five straight matchups have comfortably hit the Over, with the last two both surpassing 250 points.<\/p>\n

Jazz vs Grizzlies SGP<\/p>\n

Lauri Markkanen Over 23.5 points<\/p>\n

Isaiah Collier Over 14.5 points<\/p>\n

Our “from downtown” SGP: Anderson’s revenge<\/p>\n

Kyle Anderson<\/a> is facing his former team here, and the Grizzlies are without Ja Morant and Santi Aldama. The revenge game narrative and a bigger workload should allow Anderson to score at least 11 points here.<\/p>\n

Kyle Anderson Over 10.5 points<\/p>\n
