Will the Indiana Pacers beat the Grizzlies tonight?

Washburn: Yes. While the Grizzlies would definitely benefit from playing Portland in the first round rather than San Antonio or the Clippers, I just don’t see the Rockets losing to the Gordon Hayward-less Jazz tonight. Further, I think the Grizzlies would value health and rest a little more than the foolish Wizards, simply because they’ve been there before and know what a battle is coming in the Western Conference playoffs.

Gibson: Heart says yes, head says no. The Grizzlies have something to play for too and are a better team than Indiana. The Pacers more at stake, but I just have a feeling this will all end in tears, it always does.

Wade: I expect them to win, so I will say they lose. That’s how the Season of George has gone so far, and who am I to doubt the gods?

Stewart: A toss up for me, but I’m going with yes. Too many things are at stake here, including the undefeated record in the FloJos and the obvious 8th seed Indy is pushing for. And I don’t think Memphis will be as hard set on winning as Washington was. I think it’ll be a fight, but I’m hoping that the Grizz let this one slide after beating the Pacers on their home turf on Halloween.
