A tale of two halves - our first two tips (Pelicans Moneyline and Under 245.5) both lost. Our Player prop tips (Murray Under Assists, Bane Over Points) both won. A small loss on the game, but the value bet strategy is still paying off.

Jaren Jackson Jr. scores 29 points in the Grizzlies’ 139-126 victory over the Pelicans

By CLAY BAILEY AP Basketball Writer The Associated Press MEMPHIS

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 15 of his 29 points in the third quarter, Desmond Bane had 20 points and 14 assists and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the New Orleans Pelicans 139-126 on Friday night.

Luke Kennard added 27 points, making 7 of 9 3-pointers and 10 of 14 overall shots from the field, to help Memphis win its fifth straight.

Dejounte Murray led the Pelicans with 26 points. Trey Murphy III and CJ McCollum each had 22, and Jordan Hawkins added 20.

The Pelicans relied heavily on their backcourt for a 71-62 halftime lead, with Murray scoring 17 points and McCollum adding 15.

The game had the potential of highlighting the top two picks in the 2019 NBA draft — Zion Williamson, the No. 1 pick for the Pelicans, and Ja Morant, picked second by the Grizzlies. However, neither was available with Williamson still ramping up conditioning, and Morant recovering from an illness.

Takeaways

Pelicans: New Orleans’ backcourt of Murray and McCollum shot well in the first half to help the Pelicans take the lead, but they could not hold on in the second half.

Grizzlies: Memphis outscored New Orleans 77-55 in the second half.

Key moment

New Orleans pulled within six points early in the fourth, but Memphis went on a 15-5 run to grab its largest lead of the game at that point with 5:25 left.

Key stat

Kennard has made 14 of 20 3-pointers over his last two games.


This is how we previewed this game....

The sportsbooks have Memphis listed as 12.5 point favourites at odds of 1.14, so initially you'd think we'd be straight onto looking at the spread or the Over/Under, but first lets take a look at the stats for these two, some of which might be surprising if you haven't been paying attention to ESPN over the last few weeks.

The Pelicans lie 14th in the Western Conference with a 12-32 record, 24 games behind OKC. Their road record of 4-16 is appalling, the worst in the West in fact. However, much of that was a long time ago, early season, riddled, absolutely riddled with injuries. If we focus on their more recent games we see a completely different story.

New Orleans are 7-3 in their L10, only SAC and DEN can better that in the West, MIL and IND better in the East, so in their last 10 games, only 4 teams in the whole of the NBA have a better record. They are on a W4 streak, the joint best in the Conference (albeit, one of those joint bests is Memphis), and only MIL have a better win streak in the NBA right now.

So a crap season, yes, but a very impressive L10 games for NOP.

Memphis are having a terrific season, lying 3rd in the West, with a 29-15 (66%) record, 7 games behind OKC. Home form is super solid (17-5), but their L10 games are marginally less impressive than NOP at 6-4. Also on a W4 streak.

Looking at both teams last 5 games, we know both are 4-1, Pelicans have 3 home wins and a road win in Chicago in their last 4. Grizzlies have two home and two away (Spurs x2) in their last 4. The games they lost? NOP lost by a point in Boston. MEM lost be two points in Houston.

Head to head form doesn't tell us too much, Memphis won 132-124 in late Dec, 120-109 in late November for the only two meetings so far this season between the two. And way back in February, New Orleans won a dreadful game in Memphis.

Injury watch shows the Pelicans are likely to be without Ingram, Zion, and Jones (long term), the Grizzlies will probably be missing Aldama, LaRavia, Smart, Williams Jr and Spencer.

Pelicans have had plenty of rest after their game against MIL was postponed, fresh legs.

So - Memphis clearly a better team, but NOP at least equal in recent times, can they keep up their good form? Where is the value? One thing is for certain, one of these teams is going to stay on 4-1 L5, the other will move to 5-0.

Lets take a squizz at what the other tipping sites think about the match up.

Betting Odds - Predicting a 125-114 win for the Grizzlies, tipping Pelicans +11.5, and Under 242.5
Sportsline - projecting a 123-110 win for Memphis, moderate bet on Under 244.5

Looking at the game, the teams, the form, the rest, the injuries, we think New Orleans would win this match up 22%-25% of the time. Memphis are clear and rightful favourites, but NOP have a chance. The implied probability from the odds on offer is 17.4%, so we have an edge, a small edge, but an edge. We are going to have a small value bet on NOP. We'll have a moderate bet on the Under game total - especially because right now we can get 245.5, and many tipping sites are tipping the Under on lower totals. Another edge.

A tale of two halves - unfortunately both of our first two tips (Pelicans Moneyline and Under 245.5) lost.

A note on our Under bet tip. At the time the main tipping sites were generally recommending a bet at a line of 244.5 or 243.5. We could get 245.5, and recommended that you took it. By the time the game started, the line with all sportsbooks was either 242.5 or 243.5 - so we "gained" a two point cushion over the expectation of the sportsbooks. Didn't matter as we were all wrong and the game sailed past the line, but the principle is very solid.
