The Memphis Grizzlies are heavy favorites to advance and we're seeing essentially all the money come in on them. 97% of the handle is on Memphis to move on getting past the Minnesota Timberwolves. During the regular season, both teams split the season series 2-2.
The Timberwolves have a nice core of D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards, and Karl-Anthony Towns but will it be enough to get past Memphis? The Grizzlies are one of the best defensive teams in the league scoring the second-most points in the league and allowing just the 12th fewest opponents points per game.

Ja Morant, at age 22, is truly developing into a star in front of our very eyes. This year he averaged 27.4 points per game which is up from his 19.1 that he was averaging last season. This is a team that went from just sneaking into the playoffs last year to one that is looked at as a legit threat in the Western Conference and a large part of it is due to Ja's leap forward in year three.
The Grizzlies have not made it out of the first round since 2015. If they can turn back the clock to 2013, I think their fans would sign up for a ride to the Western Conference finals and with this roster, that's not unrealistic to ask.
