Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on March 4. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Memphis Grizzlies

The Grizzlies have been unbalanced throughout the league. The team is one of the best in the league in terms of offensive efficiency, but they miss at the level of season outsiders. Memphis is riding high in the standings, currently in fourth place in the West with a 38-22 record, but they are unlikely to make the playoffs.

The game against Atlanta will be Memphis' fourth straight home game. The Grizzlies started this stretch with a tough 151:148 (137:137) win over Phoenix. But then Memphis lost to New York (113:114) and even to Western Conference outsider San Antonio (128:130).

Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks will almost certainly take part in the play-in round of the Eastern Conference, but to climb into the playoff zone immediately Quin Snyder's team is unlikely to succeed. After losing a lot lately, Atlanta is now in ninth place with a 27-33 record and is 6.5 wins away from the top-6.

The Hawks also approached the Memphis game having lost their previous two games. First, Atlanta lost on the road to Miami (109:131), and then failed on their home court against Western Conference leader Oklahoma (119:135).

H2H Meetings

This season, the score in the series 1:0 in favor of Memphis, and in the last championship the rivals exchanged away victories.

Betting Stats

• Memphis took from Atlanta 4 out of 6 previous matches.
• At least in the last 20 matches between the rivals have not scored more than 252 points for two.
• Atlanta has not scored more than 122 points in 4 of the last 6 away matches.
• In 6 out of 7 previous games at home Memphis did not reach the individual total of 130 points.

Expert Betting Tips

Memphis and Atlanta show extremely poor efficiency on their half-court this season, conceding almost more than they score. In this regard, we believe that the total, even such a large one, which is set for the upcoming meeting, may well be broken here. Also, we'll take a Memphis win. The Grizzlies are currently a better team than the Hawks, and their position in the Western Conference playoff zone is no coincidence.
