NBA prediction
In the excellent month of December played so far in the NBA, Memphis has had only one truly great disappointment: an unexpected and painful defeat which occurred in the match against Washington on December 21st where, against the prediction of the day before, the Wizards won the FedEx Forum. Washington, down as much as 20 points towards the end of the first half, was able to get back on track, scoring one of the few but most significant successes of this season.
After a week, but in the capital, the two teams will return to compete with starting odds that are less distant from each other but which still see the Grizzlies as clear favorites according to the bookmakers. To replicate the upset, Washington will presumably have to hope to have its best players available in the meantime and, in this sense, it is necessary to monitor the problem in Kyshawn George’s side, given as “questionable” a few hours before the match while, at Memphis, there are more certain absences but which do not concern the various Jacksons, Morants, Aldamas… all present at the Capitol Arena for a match which therefore becomes very intriguing. Washington will try, for the first time in the season, to win two games in a row, Memphis is looking for the twelfth victory in the last seventeen: it will certainly be a match to watch even beyond the ranking of the two teams.
