On December 22, two ambitious teams will meet in the NBA - Atlanta and Memphis. Both teams are in different situations, but each is striving for victory in this important confrontation. Who will be able to emerge victorious? - find out in our forecast
Command Analysis
Atlanta Hawks
USACurrent form
The Hawks began to lose points more often, which significantly worsened their position in the Eastern Conference. The team suffered two defeats in a row, first losing to Milwaukee (102:110), and then losing in overtime to San Antonio (126:133).
Despite the difficulties, Quin Snyder men still hold on to seventh place, but their pursuers, Indiana and Chicago, are already breathing down their necks. Trae Young continues to show high efficiency, although his defense remains a weak link. The upcoming home game against one of the leaders of the Western Conference will be a serious test for the Hawks.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kobe Bufkin, Onyeke Okongwu and Cody Zeller are out next game with injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Hawks have won three of their last five home games.
Probable lineup: Johnson - Rizashe, Capela - Daniels, Young.
Memphis Grizzlies
USACurrent form
The Grizzlies are second in the Western Conference and look impressive. In their last game, the team crushed Golden State (144:93), demonstrating excellent play both in attack and defense.
Ja Morant leads the team in great form. Taylor Jenkins' men have found a balance between defense and attack, which allows them to consistently score points. However, the away game against a motivated Atlanta could prove difficult.

1.75Tip and bets
Memphis plays aggressive basketball, does not spare its opponents. The team has found balance and acts confidently, which makes it one of the most formidable clubs in the Western Conference. On the other hand, Atlanta, after two defeats, is ready to give its best for the sake of victory.
The home arena factor plays an important role for the Hawks, where the team traditionally performs better. In our opinion, the hosts have every chance to give one of the leaders of the West a fight and claim victory.
Our prediction is Atlanta victory, taking into account overtime at 2:00
Bet on total
The teams prefer an open game and are not afraid to attack. However, after the tense recent matches, both sides may show less productive basketball, so the overall total has a chance to remain lower than expected.
Forecast - total under 242 points for 1.73
Bet on statistics
Atlanta will rely on aggressive defense to stop Memphis' offense. It important for the hosts to maintain control of the game, so the chances of the Grizzlies beating their individual total are slim.
