Command Analysis

Memphis Grizzlies

Current form
The Grizzlies have been playing stable and bright basketball. The team has won five games in a row, strengthening its position in fourth place in the Western Conference. The return of Ja Morant has been a key factor in the successful play, which is especially noticeable in the recent results.
In a recent game against New Orleans (120:109), Morant scored 27 points, and his partners, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson, added dynamics to the offense. Thanks to team play and confident defense, Memphis retains a good chance to continue its winning streak. An important home matchup with Indiana is ahead, where the hosts intend to show who is the boss on the court.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gregory Jackson and Vince Williams will not play in the next game due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Grizzlies have won five games in a row.
Probable lineup: Wells - Jackson, Clarke - Morant, Bane.

Indiana Pacers

Current form
Indiana is fighting for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, currently occupying the ninth line. However, the team is clearly unstable. The latest loss to Detroit (106:130) was an unpleasant surprise, demonstrating shortcomings in both defense and organization of the game.
However, the team has potential. Despite the instability, the Pacers have recently shown good results against strong opponents. Their offense is capable of creating many moments, and Haliburton and Turner remain the main weapons in the fight for victory. In the next game, Indiana will have to play on the road, where it will be difficult, however, the "pacers" will certainly try to rehabilitate themselves after the defeat by the Pistons.
Disqualifications and injuries
Isaiah Jackson, Ben Sheppard and James Wiseman are out of the next game with injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Pacers have not been able to win away from home for five matches.
Probable lineup: Maturin - Siakam, Turner - Jackson, Haliburton.
