Grizzlies vs. Kings Prediction: Memphis Is the Likely Winner, but the Price Is Too High

Analysis updated October 25, 2026 at 1:39 AM CDT

The Grizzlies have started 2-0 while the Kings are 0-2, but that early edge does not justify an expensive road price.

Memphis has the early edge

Memphis enters 2-0, while Sacramento is 0-2, according to FOX Sports / Associated Press. That makes the Grizzlies the more likely winner, but SportsPicksForum's -175 moneyline and 4.5-point spread demand more than a two-game record advantage.

Last season offers little reason to pay that price. Memphis finished 25-57, and Sacramento went 22-60 overall and 15-26 at home. Those records favor Memphis only slightly and don't establish that the Grizzlies should be an expensive road favorite.

Injuries leave too many lineup questions

The NBA Official injury report lists Memphis center Zach Edey out for left ankle injury management and Cedric Coward questionable with a left wrist sprain. Sacramento has Keegan Murray questionable with left ankle capsulitis, while Dylan Cardwell, Maxime Raynaud and Ben Simmons are out.

Murray's status could affect Sacramento's chances, but expected starters and replacement roles aren't confirmed. Without that information, neither Memphis -4.5 nor the -175 moneyline offers a clear betting edge. Pass on the side; the 236.5 total also lacks enough current-season evidence to support a wager.
