Memphis Grizzlies at New York Knicks Prediction and Picks, Tuesday, November 11, 2025

The Memphis Grizzlies (4-7) visit Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Knicks (6-3) on Tuesday night. The Knicks swept both matchups last season and also covered the spread each time.

These teams are trending in opposite direction. New York is coming in red-hot, winning four straight, while Memphis has dropped five of its last six.

Is the Morant era close to ending?

The Grizzlies have struggled to find rhythm, losing five of their last six games, including a 114-100 home loss to Oklahoma City on Sunday. Ja Morant continues to be the team’s centerpiece, averaging 19.2 points, 7.9 assists, and 1.2 steals. However, his efficiency has been a major concern, shooting just 14.8% from three-point distance so far. Morant's body language, and comments to the media, along with a recent one game suspension from the team, point to issues between the franchise and the superstar.

Memphis ranks 22nd in scoring at 113.8 points per game and 26th in field goal percentage at 43.8%. Their offense often stalls in the half-court, and they rely too heavily on transition opportunities. On defense, the Grizzlies give up 118.7 points per game, ranking 22nd in the league, while allowing opponents to shoot nearly 48.4%.

Knicks going for 5th straight win

The Knicks are playing like an Eastern Conference contender, winning four straight after blowing out Brooklyn 134-98 on Sunday. In those four games, they've dominated third quarters, ranking first in the NBA with a 57.5 rating in that quarter. Taking control after halftime is always key in basketball or any other sport. Jalen Brunson has led the way with 27.2 points and 6.2 assists per game, while Karl-Anthony Towns has grabbed a team-best 12.7 boards per contest, adding 20.7 ppg.

New York ranks eighth in scoring (120.7 ppg) and is also one of the league’s top free-throw shooting teams at 84.4% (third). On defense, they allow just 112 points per game, ranking fifth overall.

Memphis Grizzlies vs New York Knicks Predictions

Grizzlies vs Knicks ATS Pick:

• Knicks -9.5 (4 units)

The Knicks are the better team on both ends of the floor and have been dominant at Madison Square Garden going 6-0 both straight-up and against the spread there. On the other side, Memphis has failed to cover in eight of its eleven games this season.

The Grizzlies’ defense has been shaky, and when they cannot get out in transition, their half-court offense has not been efficient. That’s a tough combination on the road, especially against a Knicks team that executes well late in games. Outside shooting is also always a big factor in the NBA these dats, and New York ranks eighth in three-point percentage, while Memphis sits all the way down at 22nd.

Take the Knicks to cover.

Grizzlies vs Knicks Total Pick:

• Over 233.5 (5 units)

The Knicks have scored 125 or more points in four of their last five games and can do most of the heavy lifting on their own. Memphis ranks third in pace, which should lead to plenty of scoring opportunities on both sides.

The Knicks are solid on defense, but they have not been elite, only rating 14th on that end of the floor. The Grizzlies’ defense has been worse ranking just 21st. With the expected pace and both teams also in the top four in free-throw percentage, I love the over.
