One of Sunday's games in the NBA is going to be between Brooklyn Nets and Memphis Grizzlies. With 7 wins and 9 losses, the Nets are the 10th-best team in Eastern Conference but Memphis is in the 3rd position in the Western Conference with 10 wins and 6 losses. In this game, I'm taking Brooklyn and they will cover the handicap.

Brooklyn is back at home after they won 2 and lost 2 on the road. Despite Kevin Durant's comments about their teammates, Brooklyn won a tough battle in Portland. Now the Nets are back at home where have won only 3 out of 7 games. It's not like the Grizzlies are the best on the road with 4 wins and 5 losses and they have won only 2 out of the last 6 games and in those games, they haven't covered the spread even once.

The obvious reason why I'm choosing Brooklyn in this game is that Memphis will be without Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane. Yes, Jackson Jr. came back recently but he was already showing great performance and now the team will be without 3 top scorers. Away from home this season, Memphis has only the 18th-best offense and the 5th-worst defense. I don't see how the team will play better on both ends of the floor.

Memphis allows 113.2 points per game and Kyrie Irving could potentially be back for Brooklyn. Tyus Jones will start at the point but the Grizzlies will have only 1 more guard. If Irving is back, he could put up a very great stat line as I don't see who would be able to limit him. The same can be said about Kevin Durant as he will have a much easier path to the basket without Jackson Jr.'s presence.

In the first meeting, the Grizzlies won by 10 points and Morant and Bane both scored 38 points while Durant and Irving responded with 37. Both Grizzlies' guards are out and Brooklyn could have the 2 best players on the floor. Memphis won't be able to match up with Brooklyn and this game could very fast become ugly. This is a great opportunity for Brooklyn to build something good.

NBA周日的一场比赛将在布鲁克林篮网队和孟菲斯灰熊队之间进行。篮网以7胜9负排名东部第十，灰熊以10胜6负排名西部第三。在这场比赛中，我要带布鲁克林队，他们会补上劣势。

布鲁克林在客场2胜2负后回到了主场。尽管凯文·杜兰特评论了他们的队友，布鲁克林还是在波特兰赢得了一场艰难的战斗。现在篮网回到了7场比赛中只赢了3场的主场。灰熊并不是4胜5负的客场最好的球队，他们在过去的6场比赛中只赢了2场，在这些比赛中，他们甚至一次都没有追平比分。

我在这场比赛中选择布鲁克林的一个明显原因是灰熊将失去贾·莫兰特、小贾伦·杰克逊和德斯蒙德·贝恩。是的，小杰克逊最近回来了，但他已经表现出了出色的表现，现在球队将失去3名顶级得分手。本赛季在客场，灰熊的进攻水平仅排在第18位，防守水平则排在第5位。我看不出球队在攻防两端怎么能打得更好。

灰熊场均只允许得到113.2分，而欧文有可能回归布鲁克林。泰乌斯·琼斯将首发得分，但是灰熊只多了一个后卫。如果欧文回来了，他可以打出非常出色的数据，因为我不知道谁能限制他。凯文·杜兰特也是如此，因为没有小杰克逊的存在，他会更容易进入篮下。

在第一次交锋中，灰熊以10分的优势取胜，莫兰特和贝恩都得到38分，杜兰特和欧文得到37分。灰熊的两个后卫都缺阵了，布鲁克林可以拥有场上最好的两名球员。灰熊将无法与布鲁克林抗衡，这场比赛可能很快就会变得丑陋。这是布鲁克林打造美好事物的绝佳机会。
