What to Know

The Memphis Grizzlies and the Indiana Pacers will face off at 8 p.m. ET March 24 at FedExForum without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Memphis is out to keep their five-game home win streak alive.

The Grizzlies had enough points to win and then some against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, taking their matchup 132-120. Shooting guard Desmond Bane (23 points), shooting guard De'Anthony Melton (23 points), and small forward Dillon Brooks (21 points) were the top scorers for Memphis.

Meanwhile, Indiana was just a bucket short of a win on Wednesday and fell 110-109 to the Sacramento Kings. Despite the loss, Indiana had strong showings from shooting guard Buddy Hield, who shot 5-for-8 from downtown and finished with 25 points and seven assists, and shooting guard Tyrese Haliburton, who dropped a double-double on 15 dimes and 13 points along with five boards.

Memphis is the favorite in this one, with an expected 12.5-point margin of victory. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The Grizzlies are now 50-23 while the Pacers sit at 25-48. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Memphis enters the game with 6.58 blocked shots per game on average, which is the best in the league. Indiana is not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they rank fourth in the league when it comes to blocked shots per game, with 5.55 on average. Points in the paint might be hard to come by.
