Jazz vs. Grizzlies Game Info
NBA Western Conference Quarterfinals NBA Playoffs Game 4 (UTA leads 2-1)
Utah Jazz (54-21, 22-15 Away) vs. Memphis Grizzlies (41-36, 19-19 Home)
Date: Monday, May 31, 2021
Start Time: 9:30 p.m. EST
Venue: FedExForum — Memphis, Tenn.
Coverage: TNT
Conley rained down seven 3-pointers as part of a 27-point, eight-assist, six-rebound showing in Game 3 on Friday night. With the win, the Jazz successfully took back control of homecourt advantage and the series as a whole. In just his second game back from injury, Donovan Mitchell went off once again, finishing with 29 points. Four other Utah players also scored in in double figures. Even on the road, the Jazz wasted little time in getting out to a double-digit lead at the end of the first quarter.
The Grizzlies backcourt tandem of Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks showed out once again in Friday’s Game 3. Morant finished with 28 points and seven assists while Brooks supplied 27. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to put the Grizzlies over the top for a home win. Memphis will now look to salvage Game 4 on their home floor as NBA betting underdogs before the series shifts back to Utah. Grayson Allen was sharp from long range in Game 3, and the Grizzlies would certainly love a similar performance tonight. Jonas Valanciunas and Kyle Anderson each posted a double-double in Game 3, but the former’s numbers in this series haven’t quite been what he usually produces.

Jazz vs. Grizzlies Prediction
The Grizzlies have made it clear that they are going to fight to the bitter end. Memphis was a massive NBA betting underdog coming into this series, but they have played competitive basketball throughout. That being said, this team has their work cut out if they are to steal another game. The Game 1 loss clearly woke the Jazz up. Keep in mind that Mitchell didn’t even play in what was just a 3-point Memphis win. Utah is the better team here and is now looking to advance to the next round as quickly as possible. It is highly unlikely the Jazz will want to pass up an opportunity to close this series out on their home floor in Game 5. This point spread is just too short not to lay it with the favorites.
Prediction: Jazz -5.5
