Memphis Grizzlies vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/21/26

The Charlotte Hornets remain to be one of the hottest teams in the NBA. They have won 10 of their last 13 games, and continue to rise up the Eastern Conference standings. They will get another chance to add a win to their resume tonight when they take on the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies sit near the bottom of the Western Conference standings, but they have been very competitive in their last two outings against playoff teams. This last Wednesday, the Grizzlies beat the Denver Nuggets 125-118, and they took the Boston Celtics down to the wire yesterday, losing 117-112. The Grizzlies had six or more players score double figures in both games. If the Grizzlies want to keep this game close, they will need to do it after traveling into Charlotte from  Memphis last night. With the short turnaround for the Grizzlies, I like the Hornets and their offense to take care of business tonight. The Hornets offense has been hot during this home streak. They defeated the Orlando Magic 130-111 and the Miami Heat 136-106, shooting 53% in both games. These teams played earlier in the season in Memphis, and the Hornets controlled the game throughout, eventually winning 112-97 behind 26 points from Brandon Miller. The Grizzlies have struggled this year, only winning nine games since the year turned to 2026. If fatigue causes them to have a poor shooting night, they certainly are in danger of getting blown out. 

Hornets -17.5 is available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
