Hawks at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 111, Hawks 107

Moneyline

LEAN GRIZZLIES (+122).

Memphis F Jaren Jackson Jr. returned after missing 3 games with an injured quad and finished with 30 points and 11 rebounds in Wednesday’s win vs. the 76ers. It was the Grizzlies’ 2nd straight road victory. They upset the Brooklyn Nets 106-102 Monday as 10-point underdogs. Memphis has won 4 of its last 9 as well. While that doesn’t seem great, the Griz are just 22-41 on the season.

The Hawks have lost 2 of their last 4 and 5 of their last 9. In those 9, they are 1-3 on the road and 0-3 on the road against Eastern Conference teams that aren’t in playoff position.

Atlanta’s struggles should continue, so BACK MEMPHIS (+122).

Against the spread

PASS.

The home side moneyline is the better team-specific play here. PASS on taking the spread … unless you really prefer the insurance of taking the points of Memphis +3 (-112).

Over/Under

BET OVER 215 (-110).

The Grizzlies have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games and have allowed at least 107 points in 3 of those. While Jackson Jr. is a strong defender, he has been a great source of offense, averaging 22.6 points per game.

Atlanta may be without Young, but players like G Dejounte Murray should be able to pick up the slack and continue to push the pace. Atlanta is 33-29 O/U on the season.

Considering the trends for both teams, TAKE OVER 215 (-110).

Hawks at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 115, Hawks 105

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies (-340) should win, but there is no need to risk more than 3 times your potential profit on the ML. Bet the spread or the total instead.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -8.5 (+100).

The Hawks have not submitted their injury report yet and there is no guarantee whether or not G Ja Morant will play. However, this is a play against Atlanta coming off of an emotional, unlikely overtime win. I expect the Hawks to let down in Memphis after Griffin’s buzzer-beater Sunday.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 227.5 (-110).

The Under is 3-0 in the Grizzlies’ last 3 home games and 5-1 in the Hawks’ last 6 games vs. teams with a winning record. I expect a slower-paced, low-scoring game Monday, especially if more players get ruled out closer to tip-off.

Hawks at Grizzlies: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Grizzlies 124, Hawks 114

Money line (ML)

The Hawks looked worthy of their preseason hype in their first game of the season when they crushed the Chicago Bulls 124-104 as 2-point road favorites. Trae Young torched the Bulls for a game-high 37 points on 10-for-12 from the field, and 5-for-6 in threes, with 6 rebounds and 7 assists.

Memphis lost its season-opener at home to the San Antonio Spurs 131-119 as 2-point favorites despite an amazing Ja Morant performance. The reigning NBA Rookie of the Year dropped 44 points on 18 of 27 shootings with 9 assists.

The Grizzlies won and covered in both games against the Hawks last season, which included 17- and 39-point beatdowns. Young struggled in both outings: He had under 20 points in each, shot below 30% from the field, including just 1-of-14 from three, and a combined 12 turnovers in both games.

Atlanta being without its two best defensive guards is going to be a problem vs. Morant who can get to the rim at will. Also, Grizzlies C Jonas Valančiūnas was a nightmare for the Hawks last season: Valančiūnas averaged 21 points, 16 rebounds with a 175 offensive efficiency rating and made 80% of his field goals. Furthermore, who knows how effective Atlanta’s new big, Clint Capela, who is battling an Achilles’ injury, can be, but he will most likely suit up.

GIMME GRIZZLIES (-120) for 1.5 units.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS ON THE SPREAD. I’d rather pay the extra 10 cents on the dollar than lay 1.5 points with the Grizzlies.

Over/Under (O/U)

Both Hawks-Grizzlies games last season went Under the total, and that mostly falls on an Atlanta team that only averaged 94.5 points in those games. The Hawks had the fourth-highest percentage of Overs last season and had a leisurely 124 in their first game.

Atlanta will almost definitely play with more crispness on offense in this game against a Memphis team that got rolled by the Spurs Wednesday and was 21st in opponent’s points per game last year.

I LEAN” OVER 236.5 (-115) for a quarter-unit.
