Grizzlies at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 130, Kings 120
Moneyline
PASS.
The Grizzlies (-120) should win, but there is no need to pay the extra juice on the moneyline when Memphis should win by margin. Bet the spread or total instead.
Against the spread
BET GRIZZLIES -1.5 (-105).
Despite losing 2 straight, Memphis is still one of the best teams in the league and has played well in Sacramento recently. The Grizzlies should come out prepared vs. the Kings after underestimating the Suns Sunday and losing a very winnable game. Memphis is 4-2 ATS on the 2nd night of a back-to-back and should be able to get a statement win vs. a Kings team that may start regressing toward the mean. Lay the points.
Over/Under
BET OVER 246.5 (-105).
This is a high number, but both teams are top 5 in points per game this season and have been hitting the Over on similar totals. The Over is 8-2 in Memphis’ last 10 games and 2 of the totals that went Over were set at 240 points or higher. These teams tend to play high-scoring games vs. each other in Sacramento, with the Over hitting in 5 of the last 6 meetings, and Monday’s matchup should be another offensive showcase.
