Charlotte Hornets vs Memphis Grizzlies Preview

This NBA system identifies regular season matchups where efficient but undervalued teams face opponents with poor defensive metrics such as the Hornets going up against the Grizzlies in this spot.

When a team's underlying performance indicators, such as Pythagorean strength, exceed public perception, the betting market often undervalues them against weak defensive opponents who allow high scoring efficiency — which may be the case for the Hornets in this game.

These games typically feature modest moneylines that signal balance but overlook the defensive mismatch.

Slight movement toward the undervalued side reinforces that bettors are slowly recognizing the edge, yet the market remains mispriced.
