Memphis Grizzlies vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction

🔮 Expert Prediction

Memphis rolls into Charlotte looking for a win, but it won't be easy. The key matchup is Ja Morant against Terry Rozier. Morant's been electric, averaging 26.6 points and 8.1 assists in his last five games, but Rozier is quietly putting up 23.4 points and shooting 43% from three over the same stretch.

The Hornets have found some rhythm, winning six of their last ten, including a tight one against the Celtics where LaMelo Ball dropped 24 points. Memphis, on the other hand, just lost by 25 to the Thunder, and their road record sits at a dismal 8-24. Thing is, Charlotte’s defense can be leaky, giving up 118 points per game in their last three. But Morant can't do it all himself.

Hornets take this one, 115-108.
