My Grizzlies vs. Jazz prediction backs unbeaten Memphis to win outright on the road and improve to 4-0 for the first time since the 2014-15 season.
The Grizzlies are off to their best start in nine years and already demolished the Jazz 123-103 on opening night. Now they're looking for a repeat performance in Salt Lake City on Monday, Oct. 26.
Tip-off is set for 9 p.m. ET at Delta Center. Here are my latest NBA picks for tonight's rematch.
TOP PICK
Grizzlies vs Jazz prediction: Grizzlies moneyline
I'll take the Memphis Grizzlies straight up until 53%. The Grizzlies are road underdogs, which feels like a gift. I see no reason to take the points and shrink the potential return.
The Grizzlies finished three games ahead of the Utah Jazz last season and were nearly 2.5 points better per game in scoring differential. They've also done more to improve themselves in the offseason, headlined by No. 3 draft pick Cameron Boozer, who's grabbed double-digit rebounds in all three games and recorded back-to-back double-doubles.
The Jazz are likely favored due to home court, but two of the Grizzlies' three wins have come on the road. Their only home victory was a 20-point demolition of these same Jazz on opening night.
COVERS INTEL: The Jazz have been lit up from outside this season, allowing opponents to shoot 38.3% from 3-point range. The Grizzlies shot 38.2% from deep against them in the opener and also outrebounded the Jazz 55-38, showing an inside-out advantage.
Grizzlies vs Jazz combo
With big man Boozer as the centerpiece instead of speedy guard Ja Morant, the Grizzlies have opened the season playing at one of the NBA's slower tempos. Veteran Ty Jerome, a product of Virginia's plodding offense, is now running the show and thriving at a familiar, deliberate, efficient pace.
The Grizzlies have gone Under in two of three games, and their lone Over came against a 234.5-point total. Their other two contests produced just 219 and 226 combined points.
Like the moneyline, Boozer as an underdog to rebound in double figures is another gift. He tied for the national lead with 22 double-doubles at Duke last season and has grabbed at least 10 rebounds in every NBA game so far. He may not be a lock, but this outcome should be favored at least.

Grizzlies vs Jazz player props
Grizzlies player prop: Cameron Boozer Over 3.5 assists
Boozer has been the team's leading passer once already this season and has recorded at least four assists in every game. He's averaging 5.0 assists through three contests.
If the Grizzlies go inside to him, he'll be able to kick it back out so they can continue the hot outside shooting they showed off against the Jazz in the opener.
He showed the same ability at Duke last year, leading the Blue Devils in assists by more than a full dime per game at 4.1.
Jazz player prop: Jaren Jackson Jr. Over 19.5 points
Jaren Jackson Jr. is averaging 19.7 points so far this season and scored 15 against the Grizzlies in the opener despite fouling out.
He played the first eight seasons of his career with the Grizzlies before being dealt to the Jazz at last year's trade deadline. He'll be motivated to put on a show against his old team after struggling to stay on the court in his return to Memphis due to foul trouble.
Jackson has topped 19.5 points in both games since the opener, scoring 24 against the Pelicans and 20 against the Lakers.
