Grizzlies at Kings odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 115, Kings 101
Money line
The Grizzlies are the hottest team in the league right now, even without their best player.
The Kings’ roster is decimated by an outbreak of COVID-19. Between health and safety protocols and injuries, six players have been ruled out or are doubtful to play. Sacramento has struggled against good teams and Memphis is a good team.
Take the GRIZZLIES (-240).
Against the spread
Memphis is fourth in the league at 18-11 ATS this season. They have covered the spread in eight of their last 10 games.
The Kings are 1-3 ATS in their last four games and 7-13 ATS in their last 20 games.
Take the GRIZZLIES -5.5 (-115).
Over/Under
The Grizzlies are 4-6 O/U and have allowed just 95 points per game across their last 10 games.
The Kings have had seven of their last 11 games go Over the projected total and five of their last six have had totals of 224 or more.
However, with so many players out and the Grizzlies holding opponents to so few points, take UNDER 221.5 (-112).
