Grizzlies
Memphis has owned this matchup all season. The Grizzlies are 3-0 straight up and against the spread versus Sacramento. In the February 4 meeting, they won 129-125 on the road. Ty Jerome led the way with 28 points and seven assists on 10-of-14 shooting.
That game was tight throughout, with neither side leading by more than eight points. Memphis created separation in transition, finishing with a 24-14 advantage in fast-break points.
Eight of the Grizzlies’ last nine games have gone over the total. Even with a split coming out of the All-Star break, this team continues to play at a pace that supports higher scores.

Kings
Sacramento is in a brutal stretch, riding a 16-game losing streak after a 139-122 loss to San Antonio. During this skid, the Kings have allowed 130 or more points five times.
Backing Sacramento is uncomfortable right now. Still, when these teams met earlier this month, the Kings closed as a three-point home favorite. Now the market has swung heavily the other way.
Both teams are on equal rest. Sacramento traveled from Austin, while Memphis arrived from Miami. The question I ask is simple: has enough changed to justify this large swing?
Kings vs Grizzlies Game Preview and Analysis
Memphis has been the better team in this matchup. There is no debating that. But the number matters.
The spread has bounced between 5 and 4.5, with heavy early public action showing up on Sacramento in several updates. The current number sits at Memphis -4.5 after opening closer to -5 in some spots.
Given that Sacramento was a favorite in the February 4 meeting, this adjustment feels steep. Yes, the Kings are struggling. Yes, Memphis has dominated the series. But neither team is playing well enough to justify a massive shift.
The total has dropped from 238.5 down to 233.5. With eight of Memphis’ last nine games going over and Sacramento giving up big scoring nights, I still lean toward points.
