Basketball betting on Monday includes a battle of young teams as the Minnesota Timberwolves host the Memphis Grizzlies. Both teams are going through their growing pains this season with Memphis showing a little more promise in pro basketball betting.
Basketball scheduling information shows that both teams are playing the first of back-to-back situations. The Grizzlies are home against the Phoenix Suns tomorrow while the Timberwolves are at Dallas. Basketball trends show that the Grizzlies have won 6 of the last 10 games against Minnesota. They are an even better 7-3 versus the pro basketball number. At Minnesota, the Grizzlies have won three of the last five games as basketball stats show. The teams split their four meetings last season as pro basketball betting results show.
Basketball numbers have seen Memphis struggle to score points this season. The Grizzlies rank near the bottom of the NBA in points scored as pro basketball stats show. O.J. Mayo has been an exciting young rookie but he hasn’t gotten much scoring help although Rudy Gay has picked up his play of late. Memphis has won a few games though and they stay within the basketball betting number on occasion because of their defense.
Minnesota is even worse on offense than the Grizzlies. They have Al Jefferson who leads them in scoring as basketball stats show and not much else. The Timberwolves also don’t play much defense and with little offense they don’t stay within the basketball odds enough. Randy Foye occasionally provides support for Jefferson but he is not consistent enough to impact basketball odds.
The last two meetings between the two teams have gone over the basketball betting number but the previous four went under. With both teams struggling to score, the game on Monday could go back to being an under versus the basketball total.
