Hornets vs Memphis Prediction 8 April 2025
🔊 Let's skip talking about Charlotte; their situation is pretty clear. But Memphis? That's a different story. They're wobbling in sixth place in the West, with Minnesota, the Clippers, and GSW all sporting similar records. Plus, they've got a challenging schedule to close out the regular season! Of their remaining four games, Charlotte should be an easy win for Memphis.
Head-to-Head
At their home court, the FedEx Forum, the Grizzlies devoured the Hornets with a 132-120 victory.

Charlotte Hornets Team Overview
This is Charlotte's final home game of the season. Up next, they face two challenging road trips - one to Toronto and two games against Boston. Leading up to this match, the Hornets have suffered three consecutive defeats, each by at least 14 points. It's understandable given the number of injuries plaguing the team, with players expected to recover only by next season. Meanwhile, fans are eagerly anticipating the draft and hoping LaMelo Ball isn't traded, while dreaming of pairing him with a similar talent next season. That's the story of a team sitting 14th in the East.

Memphis Grizzlies Team Overview
In their recent games, the "Bears" have secured two tough road victories in a row, beating Miami 110-108 and Detroit 109-103. Ja Morant missed the last game due to illness, and it's unclear if he'll be available for the matchup against Charlotte. However, the Grizzlies should handle this opposition even without their main star, especially with Jaren Jackson Jr. (averaging 22.3 points per game) and Desmond Bane (19 points per game) stepping up. Morant needs to be healthy for the upcoming "three finals" that will determine their playoff spot. After facing the Hornets, the Grizzlies will have regular-season games remaining against Minnesota, Denver, and Dallas. All three teams are still fighting for their positions, and the battle will go down to the wire! The Western Conference is as complex and unpredictable as ever.

Editorial Prediction
Just one game separates Memphis from the 4th to the 8th spot in the standings. They simply cannot afford to drop this match against Charlotte. With or without Morant, they need to secure a win through sheer class. Our bet is on Memphis to win with a -14.5 spread.
