Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies Betting Preview and Prediction | NBA Playoffs
NBA Western Conference Quarterfinals NBA Playoffs Game 3 (Series tied 1-1)
Utah Jazz (52-20, 21-15 Away) Memphis Grizzlies (38-34, 18-18 Home)
Date: Saturday, May 16th, 2021
Time: 9:30 pm EST
Venue: FedEx Forum – Memphis, TN
Coverage: ESPN
It should have come as no surprise that the Utah Jazz won Game 2. Not only are the Jazz a good team (with their backs up against the wall) but the return of Donovan Mitchell proved to be more than the Grizzlies could handle. In his return to action, Mitchell led his team in scoring with 25 points (8-19 from the field), and made five out of his 10 attempts from three-point range.
It is a bit concerning that the number one seed in the Western Conference lost, but now that the Jazz have all of their weapons back, they look ready to put the pressure on the Grizzlies.
