Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Memphis Grizzlies NBA Pick Prediction 10/20/2021 by Tony T. Cavaliers at Grizzlies—NBA free pick is Cleveland Cavaliers +7.5. Collin Sexton provided a spark to this Cavaliers team a year ago. They are young but so are the Grizzlies. Cleveland improved their bench adding Ricky Rubio and Lauri Markkanen. Question mark for Memphis is the acquisition of Steven Adams and moving him to the starting lineup at center. That game seemed to fast for him at New Orleans and was a better fit in a defensive style like he played at OKC. Grizzlies also lost a good three point shooter in Graysen Allen. Cavaliers can keep this close within two possessions. Play Cleveland +7.5.

Dan is joined by Sharon Brown (@SharonShyBrown) of the Memphis Flyer for a fantastic and in-depth discussion about the Memphis Grizzlies ahead of the 2021-22 NBA season. Their conversation covers Ja Morant's development, Jaren Jackson Jr.'s future, Ziaire Williams' role as a rookie, the center rotation after trading Jonas Valanciunas for Steven Adams, Kyle Anderson's value, Desmond Bane's breakout potential, lineup possibilities and a lot more! TIMESTAMPS⬇️

Heading into the final weekend of drafts before the NBA regular season, Ryan Knaus, Steve Alexander and Matt Stroup preview the Southwest Division from a fantasy perspective, discussing the injury status of Zion (and what it means for the rest of the Pelicans), any Mavs to draft other than Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis, and the potential upside for rookie big man Alperen Sengun. Also on this episode: our expectations for Desmond Bane, De'Anthony Melton and Dejounte Murray.

Joe Mullinax and Parker Fleming of Grizzly Bear Blues join Mark Schindler to discuss all things Memphis Grizzlies. Can Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant take a leap?

The Memphis Grizzlies, particularly outside of franchise cornerstone Ja Morant, haven't received much national attention in recent years, but they increasingly should. They're a fascinating youthful team that's kept quite busy this offseason. According to Keith Parish, host of Grind City Media's Fastbreak Breakfast and Grits and Grinds podcasts, Memphis' flurry of moves were designed to enhance the quality of the young core around Morant and power forward Jaren Jackson Jr., who missed all but 11 games with injury last season. But even though the front office's eyes are trained on the future, Keith doesn't expect a “big step back” this year. He touches upon the expected impact of the Jonas Valanciunas trade, why so much is riding on Jackson's upcoming season, the gamble Memphis is making with regard to rookie Ziaire Williams and the team's pair of promising 23-year-old shooting guards, among other timely Grizzlies topics. 3:50-4:37: “It was perceived that Valanciunas was kind of like a bridge. We traded Marc Gasol for him, and then he was gonna be this bridge into the future where eventually Jaren Jackson Jr. maybe bulked up enough to play the 5. But then last season, Jaren Jackson essentially misses the whole year, and the Grizzlies are competitive and good and he's putting up these career-high numbers…and everyone's like, ‘This is one of our building blocks.' … The front office I don't think ever thought this is a long-term piece. The ideal form of Jaren and Ja together probably doesn't include Jonas at the 5. So when they had an opportunity to move him to pick up a future first-round pick and to move up in the draft to get the guy they wanted, they jumped at it.”    12:45-13:06: “I think he [Steven Adams] could fit really well alongside Jaren Jackson Jr. in a frontcourt. And I don't think the Grizzlies are gonna take a big step back because even if Adams isn't a big part of the plans, just opening more time for Xavier Tillman, who came on really strong last season, and then Brandon Clarke. I think this team is going to be competitive once again.” 16:45-17:29: “Ja was the Grizzlies essentially, and we've seen it now both of the last two years, and the postseason and the play-in games last year; this guy scores 30 points per game when it matters. … I guess a question for Grizzlies fans: Is that something he needs to do more? Does he need to be more aggressive? Does he need to take on more of the offensive load? Dillon Brooks still leads the team in shots.” 23:19-24:30: “He [Brooks] is a bizarre, unique player, and he proved this season that he is an unbelievable defender. He's an actual lockdown defender. … He hit his stride as a defender, which is what everyone was hoping for. … You don't want him to be your No. 2 scorer. He's been playing above his head because there's been no one else. He's the best guy at creating his shot in the halfcourt, and that's a problem of roster construction. Ja is not that great in the halfcourt yet. Everyone else, it was like, ‘Alright, do we post up Jonas Valanciunas in the halfcourt or just basically let someone miss the shot and hope Jonas gets the rebound?”   29:17-29:33: “That's the balancing act this team has been trying to do the last couple seasons. … ‘We want to be competitive but also be building toward a point where we are a contender.'” 34:41-35:28: “As long as you get some answers and some clarity about the young guys on your roster, if you identify which ones you're gonna use going forward…I think that would be a successful season. You want to gain as much information as you can about the young guys and then based on that have a plan for what Year 4 of Ja is gonna look like and how you're gonna use your resources and assets to bring in maybe another even better player and then really go for it once Ja heads into his extension.”  Sponsor: Use code TBPN during sign-up at DraftKings.com to claim your free shot at millions of dollars in total prizes.

With the drafting of Davion Mitchell, the Kings are likely committing to their belief in a three-guard lineup of Fox, Haliburton, and Mitchell working. The most recent example of a comparable lineup is the 2019-20 Oklahoma City Thunder featuring the NBA's best lineup of Chris Paul, Dennis Schroder, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Danillo Gallinari, and Steven Adams. I am joined by OKC cover, Jacob Kniffen (@JacobKniffen), to get his perspective on the strengths, weaknesses, and schemes of that three guard lineup. Learn more about your ad choices.
