Prediction
Grizzlies 118, Cavaliers 106
Moneyline (ML)
The GRIZZLIES (-358) are big moneyline favorites over the Cavaliers on Friday night. Memphis has been hot as of late, winning six straight games and eight of its last 10. The Grizzlies will face a slumping Cavaliers team that has lost seven of its previous 10 contests. While the odds aren’t great, take the Memphis moneyline at home on Friday.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The GRIZZLIES (-8.5, -106) are big favorites, and for good reason. Memphis has been incredible against the spread this season, covering in five straight home games and six straight overall. For the season, the Grizzlies are 22-18-1 against the spread. While the line is big, expect the Grizzlies to continue their hot streak as they cover the 8.5-point spread.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this matchup is set for 227.5 points, which feels awfully high considering how poorly the Cavaliers’ offense has been this season. Cleveland is averaging less than 105 points per game, 26th in the NBA. While neither team has a strong defense, 227.5 points just feels unlikely unless both teams get hot from the 3-point line. I like the UNDER 227.5 (+105) to hit on Friday night.
