Memphis Grizzlies History
The Memphis Grizzlies joined the NBA in 1995 as part of the league’s expansion into Canada. Originally based in Vancouver, the team struggled to gain traction, both competitively and financially, during its early years. After six lackluster seasons, the franchise relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, in 2001, where it began to establish its identity as a gritty, hardworking team.
The Grizzlies’ golden era began in the early 2010s with the “Grit and Grind” era, led by players like Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph, and Mike Conley. This tough, defensive-minded team captured the hearts of Memphis fans and consistently punched above its weight in the Western Conference. The pinnacle of this period came in 2013 when the Grizzlies made it to the Western Conference Finals.
In recent years, the Grizzlies have retooled and become a fast-paced, high-scoring team built around young stars like Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. With their sights set on championship contention, the Grizzlies have become a popular pick for bettors looking to capitalize on their dynamic style of play.

Memphis Grizzlies Stats
For the 2024-25 season, the Memphis Grizzlies are performing as one of the top defensive teams in the league, ranking in the top five for opponent points per game and blocks. However, their offensive efficiency has room for improvement, particularly in three-point shooting, where they rank in the bottom third of the league. The team’s rebounding, led by Jaren Jackson Jr. and Steven Adams, has been a strong point, giving them second-chance opportunities on offense.
Areas to watch for improvement include their free-throw percentage, which remains below the league average, and turnovers, as the team’s fast-paced style occasionally leads to costly mistakes.
Memphis Grizzlies Roster for 2024-2025
The Grizzlies boast a talented roster headlined by Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Desmond Bane. Ja Morant continues to be the team’s engine, providing explosive scoring and highlight-worthy assists. Jaren Jackson Jr. anchors the defense, while Desmond Bane offers consistent perimeter shooting.
Emerging players like Santi Aldama and rookie Jaylen Wells have provided much-needed depth, but questions remain about their consistency.

Memphis Grizzlies Betting Outlook and Trends
The key to making profitable bets on any NBA team is to identify trends early on in the season. Our handicappers have identified a few of the key trends for the Grizzlies this season:
Home Court Advantage: The Grizzlies have consistently demonstrated a strong home-court advantage at FedExForum. For the 2024-25 season, the Grizzlies continue to thrive in Memphis, boasting a high win percentage and frequently covering the spread in home games. Bettors can capitalize on this trend by backing the Grizzlies to cover the spread, especially in matchups against mid-tier or road-weary opponents. Look for value when Memphis is favored at home, especially against teams with poor road records. Additionally, live-betting opportunities often emerge when the Grizzlies make big runs fueled by their home crowd.
Defensive Props with Jaren Jackson Jr.: Jaren Jackson Jr., the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, is a game-changer on defense. Leading the league in blocks and excelling as a rim protector, Jackson anchors one of the NBA’s top defenses. With Jackson consistently recording multiple blocks and rebounds per game, props for his blocks (usually set at 2.5 or 3.5) and rebounds are lucrative bets. Target matchups where the Grizzlies face teams with high paint-scoring tendencies or lack perimeter shooting. This increases Jackson’s opportunities to dominate inside. Also, consider parlaying his blocks and rebounds props for added value.
Unders on Low-Scoring Opponents: The Grizzlies’ defensive prowess often leads to lower-scoring games, particularly against teams that operate at a slower pace. The combination of elite defense and the Grizzlies’ ability to control the tempo in half-court settings makes them a reliable under team, especially when facing opponents that struggle offensively. Focus on games where Memphis plays slower-paced teams or teams missing key scorers. Pair this with historical data of head-to-head matchups that trend toward the under. Also, check for inflated totals in games involving Memphis and take advantage of lines that overestimate offensive output.
Betting Trends from Last Season
Some of the betting trends we caught onto last season include:
- Against the Spread (ATS) at Home: Memphis was one of the best home teams against the spread, covering over 60% of their games at FedExForum. Bettors who backed them at home often came out ahead.
- First-Half Bets: The Grizzlies frequently started games strong, leading at halftime in the majority of their matchups. This made first-half moneyline and spread bets a popular choice.
- Player Props for Jaren Jackson Jr.: Jaren Jackson Jr.’s ability to rack up blocks and rebounds made him a consistent performer in player props markets. Bettors who focused on his defensive stats saw frequent payouts.

Key Players for Betting on the Memphis Grizzlies
The Grizzlies are doing well so far this season, in no small part due to their star roster. Here are some of the players you should be watching for player prop opportunities:
- Jaren Jackson Jr.
- Ja Morant
- Desmond Bane
- Santi Aldama
- Jaylen Wells
Jaren Jackson Jr.
Jaren Jackson Jr., the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, continues to dominate the paint on both ends of the floor. His ability to block shots and alter offensive game plans makes him a consistent defensive force. Bettors can find significant value in his props for blocks (typically set at 2.5 or 3.5) and rebounds, especially in matchups against teams reliant on interior scoring.
Additionally, Jackson has improved his offensive game, particularly in spot-up shooting and scoring off cuts, making his points + rebounds + assists (PRA) props worth consideration. When paired with fast-paced opponents, his ability to generate turnovers and transition buckets adds another layer of value.
Ja Morant
Ja Morant remains the Grizzlies’ offensive engine, providing electrifying scoring and elite playmaking. Known for his explosive drives to the basket, Morant frequently racks up points in the paint, making his points props (usually in the 25+ range) attractive bets, particularly against teams with weaker rim protection. His assist numbers are also consistently strong, and bettors can capitalize on his assists props in matchups where Memphis plays against fast-paced or defensively weaker opponents.
Another area of value is his triple-double potential, as he regularly contributes across multiple statistical categories. Look for props that combine points + assists for added value in high-scoring matchups.
Desmond Bane
Desmond Bane has developed into one of the league’s premier three-point shooters and a reliable secondary scoring option for the Grizzlies. His consistency from beyond the arc makes his three-point props (usually set at 2.5 or 3.5) a strong play, especially against teams that struggle to defend the perimeter.
Beyond his shooting, Bane’s ability to drive and finish at the rim adds value to his overall points props, particularly in games where defenses focus heavily on Ja Morant. Bane also contributes defensively, so his steals props can be a sneaky value in matchups where Memphis expects to force turnovers.
Santi Aldama
Santi Aldama has emerged as a versatile forward capable of impacting games in multiple ways. With an expanded role this season, Aldama contributes as a scorer, rebounder, and occasional playmaker. His PRA props are often undervalued, making them an excellent betting opportunity in games where he sees extended minutes due to injuries or matchups.
Aldama’s ability to stretch the floor with his three-point shooting also creates value in his points props against teams that struggle to defend stretch forwards. Keep an eye on his development, as his consistency continues to grow, particularly in games where Memphis’s stars need additional support.
Jaylen Wells
Jaylen Wells, a promising rookie, has shown flashes of brilliance in limited action this season. His athleticism and scoring ability make him a wild card in certain matchups, especially when Memphis faces teams with weaker benches. Wells has already proven he can score in bunches, making his points props intriguing in games where he sees increased usage.
As a rookie, his props are often set conservatively, offering bettors excellent value in the right scenarios. Keep an eye on team injury reports and rotation updates to spot games where Wells might see more playing time and opportunities.
