<h2>Individual Player Analysis</h2>
<p>As Brooklyn travels to take on the Memphis Grizzlies, the Nets' leading scorer is Kevin Durant. Through 45 games, Durant is averaging 29 points. On the season, he has surpassed his season average in 44.0% of his games. As Durant gets set to take on the Grizzlies, he could be in line for a big game as Memphis is allowing their opponent's top scorer to surpass their season average in 52.31% of their games. This figure places them 21st among NBA defenses. On the other side, the Grizzlies will be looking for Desmond Bane to carry the scoring load. So far, Bane is averaging 17.9 points per game. However, if he is going to have a big scoring night, he will need to do so against a Nets defense that has been tough on their opponent's top scorers. So far, leading scores have surpassed their season average at a rate of just 27.59%. This figure is good for a rank for the top spot in the league.</p>
<h2>Matchup Analysis</h2>
<p>Heading into this matchup, the Memphis Grizzlies are the more efficient team on both ends of the court. This scenario has taken place in 27 of Memphis's 71 games, leading to a winning percentage of 74%. So far, the Brooklyn Nets have played 9 games as the inferior offensive and defensive unit. In these instances, they have lost 9 times, by an average margin of -14.0 points.</p>

Brooklyn vs. Memphis Prediction ATS 3/23/22

Heading into this matchup, the Brooklyn Nets are 2.5 point road favorites, as Ja Morant will not be playing with a knee injury. In addition, because this game is being played in Memphis, the Nets will have the benefit of Kyrie Irving being available to play. Look for the Nets to pick up the win and cover the spread, as I see both Irving and Kevin Durant having big scoring nights.
