Kings at Grizzlies picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 115, Kings 110
PASS.
Considering the expected outcome and the narrow spread, look below for the better wager. The Grizzlies (-145) are slightly too expensive to back.
BET GRIZZLIES -2.5 (-110).
Neither side has covered well as of late, but the Grizzlies are at home and have scored at least 109 points in 2 of their last 3 games at FedExForum. Memphis has also scored at least 118 points in the 3 home games against sub-.500 opponents.
The Kings have lost 7 straight games, and none of those have been close. They’ve closed as an underdog in each and have lost all 7 by at least double figures. On their fourth straight road game, expect those struggles to continue.
BET GRIZZLIES -2.5 (-110).
BET UNDER 234.5 (-110).
Neither side has its main weapons active in this one, and that should limit scoring. The Kings have gone Under in 3 straight games and in 5 of their last 7 contests.
The Grizzlies have had similar offensive issues and have gone just 1-5 O/U in their last 6 games and 5-10 O/U on the season. Considering those trends for both sides, back UNDER 234.5 (-110).
