Grizzlies vs Jazz NBA Preview
The Utah Jazz host Memphis looking to bounce back from a 132-123 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Standing at 1-2 on the young season, head coach Will Hardy’s unit has shown offensive pop—averaging 115.3 points per game (13th in the NBA)—but has struggled on the defensive end, allowing 124.7 points per game (27th) and posting a -9.2 Net Rating.
Despite defensive lapses, the Jazz have demonstrated relentless hustle on the glass, pulled down 20 offensive rebounds against Los Angeles, and continue to push the tempo with a 101.3 Pace rating.
The Grizzlies travel to Salt Lake City entering the contest undefeated after an impressive 3-0 start. Memphis picked up road victories over the Warriors (111-108) and the Kings (123-112) following a 123-103 season-opening win against this same Jazz squad.
Head coach Tuomas Iisalo’s squad has hit the ground running, ranking ninth in scoring offense (119.0 PPG) and seventh in scoring defense (107.7 PPG). With a +11.4 Net Rating through three games, the Grizzlies are excelling on both ends, fueled by balanced scoring from Ty Jerome and efficient rim protection.
Grizzlies vs Jazz Pick, Betting Analysis
Our Action Network PRO Projections highlight significant value on Jaren Jackson Jr. to go over 5.5 Rebounds. Our model projects Jackson to grab 7.43 rebounds tonight against his former team, giving this prop a 21.6% edge over the consensus line of 5.5 rebounds.
Jackson plays heavily in Utah's frontcourt rotation, logging 33 minutes in Sunday's matchup against the Lakers and 33 minutes against New Orleans on Friday.
Over his last two games, Jackson has seen his floor time sit firmly above 30 minutes, ensuring ample rebounding opportunities.
Utah plays at a solid 101.3 Pace, while Memphis ranks 5th in Offensive Rating (119.7) and attempts plenty of shots. In their first meeting this season on October 21, Jackson pulled down 5 rebounds in just 28 minutes.
With expected regular starter minutes around 32–34, natural projection regression easily pushes him past the 5.5 line.
Coach Will Hardy has emphasized crashing the boards, as evidenced by Utah's 55 total rebounds against Memphis in game one and 20 offensive rebounds against the Lakers.
Operating inside alongside Lauri Markkanen, Jackson remains positioned in high-leverage areas to collect both defensive boards off missed Grizzlies jumpers and second-chance opportunities.
Pick: Jaren Jackson Jr. Over 5.5 Rebounds (-115, BetMGM)
