The Memphis Grizzlies pay a visit to the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center on Monday night. Here’s a Grizzlies vs Nets Prediction.

Memphis Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies have been in terrible form as they've lost 14 of their last 16 games overall. The Grizzlies will be hoping to arrest a five-game losing streak after falling short to the struggling Trail Blazers in a 107-100 overtime loss on Saturday. Santi Aldama led the team with 21 points, eight rebounds and three assists, Vince Williams Jr added 21 points with eight rebounds and three blocks. GG Jackson chipped in with 17 points off the bench but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Grizzlies shot just 36 percent from the field and 15 of 40 from the 3-point line as they dominated most of the game to lead by as many as 18 points in the third quarter, before they scored just 17 points in the fourth quarter and only five points in overtime to allow the Trail Blazers to run them down in another disappointing loss. The Grizzlies will meet the 76ers, Hawks, and Thunder after this one.

Brooklyn Nets

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets are starting to build some momentum as they've won three of their last four games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after routing the Hawks in a 114-102 win on Saturday. Mikal Bridges led the team with 38 points on 14 of 26 shooting, Cameron Johnson added 23 points while Dennis Schroder chipped in with 14 points and eight assists. As a team, the Nets shot 46 percent from the field and 15 of 32 from the 3-point line as they took poured in 39 points in the second quarter to erase an early 13-point deficit before they dominated the third quarter by 30-18 to lead by as many as 18 points at one stage. The only blemish from the win was the play of the bench as Dennis Smith Jr scored just three points on one of six shooting while Lonnie Walker finished with just two points on one of seven shooting.

Grizzlies vs Nets Prediction

The Grizzlies are missing a host of players, and they're going to be even more depleted now that Jaren Jackson Jr and Ziaire Williams are both listed as doubtful. The Nets are still without Cam Thomas and they have Ben Simmons listed as questionable. The Grizzlies are one of the coldest teams in the league at the moment, but you can't blame them with as almost their entire team is out injured. The Nets are a hard team to trust, as they've been one of the most inconsistent teams all season. The Nets are starting to turn things around with three wins in their past four outings, and I think they can keep it going with another win and cover against this depleted Grizzlies outfit.
