Grizzlies at Raptors: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Grizzlies 114, Raptors 103
Money line (ML)
The Grizzlies (-200) will cost you two times your potential against the Raptors (+165), who have been mailing it in. Still, Memphis is coming off a 14-point loss in Detroit, so nothing is a certainty.
AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The GRIZZLIES -5 (-110) are a good bet to rebound against a Raptors +5 (-110) team that is disinterested and just playing out the string. This will be a payback game for the Grizz, too, as they were hammered 128-113 by the Raps in Memphis back Feb. 8.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 226.5 (-110) is the slam-dunk play. The Under is 12-5 across the past 17 home games against a team with a winning road record. In addition, the Under is 31-10 in the previous 41 meetings in this series, including 17-4 in the past 21 meetings for the Raptors at home against the Grizzlies.
