Key Factors

Favors Over

Ja Morant has totaled an impressive 8.3 assists per game this season, a significant increase from his 7.2 assists per game last season.
Ja Morant has tallied 32.0 minutes per game playing at home this year, ranking him in the 84th percentile -- seeing the court more than most players in the NBA.
The Memphis Grizzlies have played at the most up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 25 games.
The Jazz have played at the 7th-speediest pace-of-play in the league over the last 10 games away from their home stadium, which should lead to increased possessions for the Grizzlies.
The Memphis Grizzlies rank as the 3rd-best offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide new opportunities for scoring and assists).
