Clippers at Grizzlies: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Clippers 115, Grizzlies 106
Money line (ML)
CLIPPERS (-275) is the way to go here as they are (nearly) fully healthy and have one of the best overall rosters in the NBA. And after losing to the Grizzlies on Thursday in the first of a back-to-back game, they will certainly want to get some revenge. Look for them to win by near double-digits in this contest.

Against the spread (ATS)
CLIPPERS -6.5 (-110) is the pick here despite losing by 28 points on Thursday night to the Grizzlies. Los Angeles just had an awful shooting night in that game, going 34-84 (40.5%) from the floor. Memphis, on the other hand, couldn’t have been hotter as they shot an incredible 54.3% and 57.9% from the three-point line.
Don’t expect the shooting differential to be that drastic again on Friday night. Look for the Clippers to impose their will and win by near double-digits, covering the 6.5 point spread.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 226.5 (-110) feels like the right play in this as Memphis has a bottom-10 offense in the NBA. While that didn’t play out in their first meeting on Thursday, this is a team that averages just 110.8 points per night.
And with the Clippers having a top-six scoring defense, look for them to put on the clamps on Friday and keep the Grizzlies under 110 points in this game.
