Injury Report
For New Orleans, Yves Missi, Trey Murphy III, Bryce McGowens and Bennedict Mathurin were listed doubtful, with Trendon Watford out; Malik Dia and Jaron Pierre Jr. carried G League-related questionable designations in the team preview. Memphis listed Zach Edey, Scotty Pippen Jr., Quinten Post, Richie Saunders, Karim Lopez and Jahmai Mashack out. Those absences could alter interior depth, perimeter scoring and second-unit rotations. Availability should be checked again closer to tipoff because designations can change.
Key Players
Key Matchup Edge
Memphis has the stronger season profile, scoring 117.9 points per game while allowing 111.9, compared with New Orleans at 116.9 scored and 124.2 allowed. Memphis is also 5-0 on the road and owns the better ATS record. However, the Pelicans already beat Memphis 135-134 in overtime, so prior matchup effectiveness limits any assumption of an easy road cover.
3 Things to Watch
- Memphis 5-0 road ATS versus New Orleans defense
- Zion Williamson interior efficiency and rim pressure
- Availability of injured Pelicans perimeter contributors
Betting Breakdown
Memphis visits New Orleans on Friday in an NBA Cup West Group B matchup, with the Grizzlies carrying a 7-4 record against the Pelicans at 4-8. The visitors have won all five road contests and covered the spread in every one, an unusually sharp contrast with their recent home struggles. Memphis scores 117.9 points per game and allows 111.9; New Orleans scores 116.9 but concedes 124.2. The Pelicans nonetheless have demonstrated matchup-specific upside: on November 2 they won 135-134 in overtime at Memphis while receiving 5.5 points. That result matters because the market again favors the Grizzlies, with one available snapshot showing a move from Memphis -4.5 at the open to -3.5. Recent results add another wrinkle. Memphis lost four of its last five games, while New Orleans has also lost four of five, including a 111-145 home defeat to Brooklyn. Ty Jerome supplies Memphis scoring creation, and Zion Williamson is the main New Orleans interior threat. Multiple injury designations on both teams make pregame lineup confirmation especially important before evaluating the spread or total.
Memphis Betting Outlook
The Grizzlies have a 7-4 straight-up mark and an identical 7-4 ATS record, supported by a perfect 5-0 road record and 5-0 ATS road split. Their last five results were losses to New Orleans, Indiana, Oklahoma City and Denver, separated by a win at Toronto, for a 1-4 stretch. Memphis scores 117.9 points per game and allows 111.9, a favorable scoring differential despite the skid. Ty Jerome averages 26.2 points through 10 appearances; Cameron Boozer contributes 15.9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists through 11. The Grizzlies must account for the absence of Zach Edey and other unavailable rotation players while protecting the defensive glass.
New Orleans Betting Outlook
New Orleans enters 4-8 straight up and 6-6 ATS, with a 3-4 home record. Its latest five games include a 120-113 overtime win over Utah and four consecutive losses to Minnesota, the Clippers, Golden State and Brooklyn; it covered only the Utah game in that span. The Pelicans average 116.9 points but surrender 124.2 per game, leaving ample pressure on their offense to keep pace. Zion Williamson is averaging 23.9 points while shooting 62.2 percent, and Jeremiah Fears averages 19.0 points and 6.1 assists. New Orleans won the first meeting with Memphis 135-134, but doubtful designations for Trey Murphy III and other contributors complicate its perimeter rotation.
