New Orleans Pelicans vs. Memphis: Odds, DFS Bets and How to Stream
Here is all the information you need for the New Orleans Pelicans vs. Memphis Grizzlies.
The New Orleans Pelicans hope to get on track against the Memphis Grizzlies after dropping the first two bubble games in dramatic fashion.
The first was a heartbreaker to Utah where the Pels couldn’t stop anyone down low, and the second was a smashing by the Clippers who put on a 3-point shooting clinic.

Injury Reports
The official injury report has not been released but the New Orleans Pelicans will be without Darius Miller.
The Grizzlies will be without Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow. Losing Winslow is a big blow, as he would likely be the primary defender against Brandon Ingram.
Best Fantasy Sports Bets
The Pelicans have done little to stop points in the paint, so expect Valanciunas to have a big game. He is $7.9k but will probably put up stats on the smaller Pelicans.
Same with Jaren Jackson Jr. at $6.2K, as the Pelicans have few wing defenders and no one close to his size. For a riskier play, look at Grayson Allen at $3.1K. He scored 15 against the Spurs and could get a lot of open looks if the Pels play perimeter defense like they did last game.
With Winslow out, Ingram is the safest play, even at $8.1K. He is primed for a breakout game after a dud against the Clippers.
Zion Williamson is still at $7.8k, which seems very high given his restrictions. He’s still a stay away until the price drops or he shows he can play more mintues.
Josh Hart should see extended play after being one of the few Pelicans to play well in the first two. He is only $4.0k and is always good for around ten points and six rebounds.
Stay away from Nicolo Melli (I hope this works) who is seven for his last 40 three’s and may have played himself out of the rotation.
