NBA PLAYOFFS 2021

Jazz VS Grizzlies

1st ROUND

Game 2: May 26th

I love the Grizzlies in game 2. They shocked the NBA community with a huge upset over the leagues best Jazz. The Grizzlies have also been on a roll as of late, who shockingly took Steph and the Warriors out of the playoffs. They dominated game 1, led by great team defense and an outstanding game from floor general Ja Morant. I know Mitchell is back for the Jazz, but the Grizzlies momentum and confidence is at an all time high, while the Jazz are trying to match the energy, but failing. I will be surprised if the Grizzlies steal both games in Utah, but I do think they will keep this game close at least. Take the Grizzlies +9.5, over 219 total points, Dillon Brooks under 19.5 points, and Mike Conley over 16.5 points.

Game 5: June 2nd

Start Time: 9:30 pm EST

Venue: Vivint Smart Home Arena, Utah

Where to Watch: NBATV

The Jazz have covered in the last 3 games because they know how to close games out. They get home court advantage tonight and have all the momentum heading into this elimination game. I definitely believe they are going to close out tonight and dominate the Grizzlies, but I think Ja Morant will leave it all out on the floor and have a great game. The Jazz are too deep, well coached, and play the best team basketball and are led by a superstar, so I do not think the Grizzlies have any chance at coming back in this series, especially since they would have to win two games in Utah which is notorious for having the toughest and loudest crowds. Take the Jazz -9.5, Donovan Mitchell over 27.5 points, and Ja Morant over 25.5 points.
