Kings vs. Grizzlies Prediction, Picks for Sunday, Dec. 31
Here's everything you need to know about Kings vs. Grizzlies on Sunday, Dec. 31 — our expert prediction and betting picks for today.
We should be in for a good one with Ja Morant and De’Aaron Fox meeting for the first time this season as the Sacramento Kings head to Memphis to take on the Grizzles.
Let's get to our Kings vs. Grizzlies prediction and pick.
Kings vs. Grizzlies Prediction
Pick: Grizzlies -1 | Under 236.5
Kevin Huerter, who injured his left hand against the Hawks on Friday, is questionable for the Kings' road-trip finale.
Sacramento was able to pull off the win in Atlanta after trailing by 18 at halftime. With Huerter potentially out and Harrison Barnes playing just 12 minutes after starting against the Hawks, head coach Mike Brown might make some lineup changes for this matchup.
Fox and Domantas Sabonis will lead the team per usual, but even dropping 77 combined points against Portland wasn’t enough to earn a win — and the Grizzles will be a tougher matchup.

Since returning from his 25-game suspension, Morant is averaging 26.8 points per game and has led the Grizzlies to wins in four of the five games he's played in.
Derrick Rose (hamstring) and Luke Kennard (knee) are both listed as questionable and could return to the lineup after being sidelined for some time.
The Grizzles are playing their third top-five team in the Western Conference, with Morant and company looking to avoid a third straight loss.

In their last five games, both teams are averaging just over 113 points per game. The totel is at 236.5, so I think it’s a safe bet to take the under on this one, with the Grizzles emerging victorious in a close one.
