The Grizzlies struggle with their shooting. They rank 26th in field goal percentage and 28th in two-point percentage. This inefficiency could lead to fewer points against the Knicks.
On defense, the Knicks allow only 111.9 points per game, ranking 5th. They also hold teams to just 83.7 field goal attempts per game. This suggests they can limit the Grizzlies’ scoring opportunities.
The Knicks average 120.6 points per game, ranking 9th. Their strong three-point shooting, at 38.3 percent, helps them score efficiently. These factors make it likely the Knicks will cover the spread.
