Kings vs Grizzlies prediction

Kings vs Grizzlies best bet: Grizzlies -4 (-110)

The Memphis Grizzlies are sitting in 11th place in the Western Conference with a 21-34 record. However, they’ve covered tonight’s spread in back-to-back games at home, comfortably beating the Timberwolves and Jazz. 

Memphis is riding a three-game winning streak against the Sacramento Kings, who are in 15th place in the West. Sacramento has lost 16 in a row and has been absolutely blown out in four straight, losing by at least 17 points each time. 

The Grizzlies have covered the spread in two of their three victories against the lowly Kings in 2025-26.

Kings vs Grizzlies same-game parlay

Jaylen Wells is coming off an impressive 25-point showing in Saturday's loss to the Heat. He’s cashed the Over in four of his last seven, and he’s averaging 16.3 points per game in February. 

In three meetings with Sacramento this season, Wells is also averaging 15.3 PPG.

The Kings have scored fewer than 100 points in three of their last four, and that wasn’t even against any elite defensive teams. Memphis ranks 16th in defensive rating, allowing 117.7 points per game. 

That being said, two of the last three meetings between Sacramento and Memphis have cashed the Under in points, and the Kings are struggling immensely on the offensive end. The Grizzlies aren’t a whole lot better.
