Below, our NBA experts break down the Grizzlies' betting odds, win total pick, and best NBA futures bet for the 2025-26 season.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Grizzlies win total prediction

Here's why our NBA expert Corey Scott expects the Grizzlies to finish Over 39.5 wins as one of his NBA win total predictions for the 2025-26 season:

⬆️ Over 39.5 wins

The Grizzlies are simply not as deep as they need to be to compete in the Western Conference. Having two young stars in Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. is always a plus, but the next leading scorers on this team are Santi Aldama and Ty Jerome, both of whom averaged 12.5 points per game last season. Forget the injury concerns - this team just doesnโ€™t have enough depth to be competitive.

๐Ÿ”ฎ Best Grizzlies futures bet

Here's why our NBA expert Liam Fox is betting on the Grizzlies to miss the NBA playoffs as one of his best NBA futures bets for the 2025-26 season:

📉 Grizzlies to miss NBA playoffs

Memphis has been rudderless the last couple years after a short-lived ascent to contender status. Ja Morant can't be trusted to play more than two-thirds of the season, and the Grizzlies don't have the talent to make up for his inevitable absence. That's why I don't mind paying this -150 price, which carries a 60% implied probability.
