ChatGPT prediction for Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans, 24 January 2026.
Analytics and matchup context point to Memphis. Models put the Grizzlies in the 63–67% win range with a projected 122–112 score, and the market price of 1.54 implies roughly a ~65% chance — right in line with those forecasts, suggesting a small positive edge.
Memphis still has depth issues (Scotty Pippen Jr., Zach Edey, Ty Jerome, Brandon Clarke out; Santi Aldama day-to-day), but New Orleans’ road form is worse (three straight losses, 2–8 last ten) and they’re missing Jose Alvarado with Zion Williams probable and Herbert Jones questionable, which blunts their defense and bench stability.
Recent head-to-head and offensive matchups favor Memphis exploiting New Orleans’ defensive lapses. The underdog price of 2.54 isn’t compelling enough given Pelicans’ injuries and road slide; I back Memphis to win.

Gemini prediction for Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans, 24 January 2026.
The Memphis Grizzlies enter this matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans as clear favorites, with prediction models assigning them a substantial 63-67% probability of victory, projecting a 122-112 final score. Despite the Grizzlies currently treading water with a 3-7 record over their last ten outings, their offensive prowess, averaging 115.3 points per game, is poised to exploit a Pelicans defense that allows 122.0 points.
New Orleans, conversely, is spiraling, arriving on a three-game losing streak and a dismal 2-8 record over their last ten contests, particularly struggling on the road. While Memphis is battling significant depth issues with key players like Scotty Pippen Jr. and Zach Edey sidelined, and Santi Aldama day-to-day, the Pelicans also face absences in Jose Alvarado and have Herbert Jones questionable. The recent head-to-head also favors Memphis, who edged out the Pelicans 133-128 in overtime last November. The bookmakers reflect this confidence in Memphis with odds of 1.54, making them the smart pick against a struggling Pelicans side.

Claude prediction for Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans, 24 January 2026.
The Memphis Grizzlies enter this matchup as 1.54 favorites for good reason, despite their recent struggles (3-7 in their last ten). The Pelicans are in even worse form, riding a three-game losing streak and going just 2-8 in their last ten games, with particularly poor performances on the road.
While Memphis faces depth issues with multiple players sidelined (Pippen Jr., Edey, Jerome, and Clarke all out), New Orleans is also dealing with key absences. The Pelicans' defensive vulnerabilities are concerning – they allow 122 points per game, which plays perfectly into the Grizzlies' offensive strengths (115.3 PPG).
The teams' last meeting saw Memphis prevail 133-128 in overtime, with Jaren Jackson Jr. dropping 27 points. Advanced prediction models give Memphis a 63-67% win probability with a projected score around 122-112.
Despite both teams' recent struggles, the Grizzlies' home-court advantage and slightly better form give them the edge in what should be a high-scoring affair. The 1.54 price is justified given the circumstances.

Grok prediction for Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans, 24 January 2026.
The Memphis Grizzlies host the New Orleans Pelicans in a Southwest Division clash that screams value on the home side. Despite both teams nursing wounds from recent slumps—Memphis at 3-7 in their last 10 and New Orleans reeling from a 2-8 skid with three straight road losses—the Grizzlies hold the upper hand. Analytics models peg Memphis with a 63-67% win probability, forecasting a 122-112 thriller where their 115.3 points per game exploits the Pelicans' leaky 122.0 allowed.
Injuries sting both benches: Memphis misses Scotty Pippen Jr., Zach Edey, Ty Jerome, and Brandon Clarke, with Santi Aldama day-to-day, while New Orleans sits Jose Alvarado and questions Herbert Jones, though Zion Williamson is probable. Still, head-to-head history tilts Grizzlies, who edged a 133-128 OT win in November behind Jaren Jackson Jr.'s 27 points. At 1.54, Memphis offers solid juice against the Pelicans' 2.54, making them the smart play for bettors eyeing home dominance.
This matchup tests resilience, but Memphis's offensive edge and crowd boost should seal it—expect the Grizzlies to grind out a gritty victory and keep their division hopes alive.

DeepSeek prediction for Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans, 24 January 2026.
Despite a mediocre 3-7 run, the Memphis Grizzlies hold a clear edge at home against a reeling New Orleans Pelicans squad. Analytics models project a 63-67% win probability for Memphis, forecasting a score around 122-112, which aligns with the Grizzlies' potent offense (115.3 PPG) exploiting the Pelicans' leaky defense (122.0 PPG allowed).
New Orleans arrives on a three-game road losing streak and a dismal 2-8 record in their last ten, struggling to find consistency. While both teams have injury concerns, the Pelicans' road woes and Memphis's head-to-head dominance—their 133-128 overtime victory in November—suggest the Grizzlies can cover the 1.54 line.

Qwen prediction for Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans, 24 January 2026.
The Memphis Grizzlies are set to host the New Orleans Pelicans in a crucial NBA matchup. Despite their recent struggles, with a 3-7 record over their last ten games, the Grizzlies are favored by analytics and past performance. Prediction models give Memphis a 63-67% chance of winning, with an expected score around 122-112. The Grizzlies' offensive strength, averaging 115.3 points per game, is a significant factor, especially against a Pelicans team that allows 122.0 points per game. Adding to the Grizzlies' advantage, the Pelicans are on a three-game losing streak and have a poor 2-8 road record in their last ten games. Although the Grizzlies are dealing with several key injuries, including Scotty Pippen Jr., Zach Edey, and Ty Jerome, their home court and superior offensive capabilities should give them the edge. On the other hand, the Pelicans will be without Jose Alvarado and potentially Herbert Jones, further weakening their lineup. Given these factors, the smart bet is on the Memphis Grizzlies, even at the less favorable odds of 1.54.
