Grizzlies at Knicks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 123, Grizzlies 120
Moneyline
The books have this one covered well. New York at -160 on the ML is just daring you to take the -3.5-point spread. Memphis is a good team on a roll, but they’re just 12-10 on the road. The Knicks are just a little deeper, and I give them the slight edge in this one. I’m not paying -160 for a matchup this close, though.
Give me JAREN JACKSON JR. OVER 1.5 THREE-POINTERS (-110). He is 7-for-13 from downtown over the last 2 games, and he’ll be trading buckets with Karl-Anthony Towns from the perimeter.
Against the spread
Give me the GRIZZLIES +3.5 (-110) here because they have the talent to win it outright and should remain in it regardless. As mentioned, the Grizz have covered 8 of the last 10 outings.
Over/Under
The Grizzlies are 6-3-1 O/U in their last 10 games, and the Knicks are 5-5. When it comes to the head-to-head matchup, the Over is 8-2.
The OVER 241.5 (-105) sneaks over the threshold.
