Clippers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 128, Clippers 120

Moneyline

PASS.

The moneyline odds do not present any profitable play on the Grizzlies in this matchup.

Against the spread

LEAN MEMPHIS -6.5 (-108).

Memphis is 22-15-2 at home this season and fully healthy as opposed to an LA team that is banged up. The Grizzlies have the best defense in the NBA in terms of opponent field goal percentage (45.2%) and rank 10th in opponent 3-point percentage (35.3%). They also rank 8th in the league in scoring offense (116.9).

With LA’s stars missing this game, it will struggle to find its groove and break the Grizzlies’ defensive pressure that will be exacerbated in front of their home crowd. The spread hitting or missing could hinge on whether SF Kawhi Leonard suits up for the Clippers or not.

Over/Under

BET OVER 235.5 (-110).

The Over is 4-0 in the Clippers’ last 4 games and 4-0 in their last 4 games playing on 1-day’s rest. The Over is 4-0 in the Grizzlies’ last 4 games following a ATS loss and 6-3 in their last 9 games.

The Over is also 6-0 in the last 6 meetings between these 2 teams and 5-2 in their last 7 meetings in Memphis.

Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Clippers (27-28) travel to FedExForum Tuesday to take on the Memphis Grizzlies (37-18). Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Clippers vs. Grizzlies odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Clippers have had to play without their two superstar forwards for weeks. L.A. has failed to cover the spread in three straight games but managed to cover six of its last 10 outings.

Los Angeles traded for G Norman Powell and F Robert Covington from the Portland Trail Blazers Friday. Powell put up 28 points in 24 minutes off the bench Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks in his first appearance with his new club. They’ll be up for a challenge taking on Memphis, arguably the hottest team in the league.

The Grizzlies have covered seven of their last 10 games. They are one of just three teams, along with the Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns, to rank top eight in both offensive and defensive rating. Memphis is the best-covering team in the league at 36-19 against the spread (ATS).

However, the Grizzlies are ninth with a 12-9 ATS record as home favorites.

Clippers at Grizzlies odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 120, Clippers 110

Money line

PASS on the money line.

No regular-season NBA favorite is worth a -400 price tag. However, betting a road upset of one of the hottest teams isn’t a smart play either. Look to the points for value.

Against the spread

BET on the GRIZZLIES -7.5 (-122).

The Clippers’ weakness is in their rebounding. They rank 27th in the league in defensive rebounding rate and that’s going to be a problem as Memphis tops the league in offensive rebounding.

The Grizzlies also rank ninth in turnover rate whereas the Clippers sit 18th. The extra opportunities are going to go to Memphis, and at home, it should have a blowout victory.

The Grizzlies also rank first in fast-break points per game. The Clippers sit 23rd in opponents’ fast break points per game. This just isn’t a good matchup for the Clippers.

Over/Under

Slight “LEAN” to the OVER 226.5 (-112).

The Grizzlies play at the seventh-fastest pace which is why they average the fifth-most points per game.

Memphis has been on fire lately, scoring at least 119 in three straight games and at least 115 in six straight. Memphis is 6-3-1 O/U in its last 10.

The Clippers are 7-2-1 O/U in their last 10 and have topped 110 in seven straight. They should be able to put enough points on the board to help top the Over with additional firepower from Powell.

Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Clippers (9-5) travel to FedExForum Thursday to take on the Memphis Grizzlies (7-7). Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Clippers at Grizzlies odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Coming into this one having lost three of its last four, Memphis was able to toast the Houston Rockets on Monday. With that in mind, the Grizzlies have plenty of rest and a roster that’s near full strength with Dillon Brooks back.

Led by star G Ja Morant, the Grizzlies matchup favorably, especially with C Steven Adams down low. Memphis is 5-3 at home.

They’ll take on the Clippers who are 2-2 on the road. LA is led by Paul George who is having an All-NBA-caliber season so far. He’s averaging 27.0 points per game, the second-highest amount of his career.

Los Angeles enters as slight underdogs.

Clippers at Grizzlies odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 108, Clippers 105

Money line

PASS on the money line here. I like Memphis in this situation, and I’d take the points for marginally better odds.

Against the spread

BET on the GRIZZLIES -1.5 (-105) as the best team-specific bet. The Grizzlies have just been a much better team at home along with the Clippers having come off a long homestand and finally hitting the road.

Also, the Grizzlies have the second-best offensive rebounding rate while the Clippers are 18th in defensive rebounding.

That will play a huge factor. The Clippers lost to Memphis by six Oct. 23 despite George scoring 41 points. He should return to the mean, and the Grizzlies should be able to take care of business.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 220.5 (-110) as it has just been the far better bet in most games.

These two teams rank 13th (Memphis) and 20th in offensive rating (L.A.), so neither is necessarily dominant offensively, especially as both really only have one true star.

Both being quicker in pace than the average team is why the total crept higher. However, with the Under hitting at more than a 63% rate, per covers.com, I’d prefer that side on such a high total.

The Grizzlies have only hit 110 in one of their last four games. The Clippers have averaged 103 points over their last two games.

Clippers at Grizzlies: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Clippers 115, Grizzlies 106

Money line (ML)

CLIPPERS (-275) is the way to go here as they are (nearly) fully healthy and have one of the best overall rosters in the NBA. And after losing to the Grizzlies on Thursday in the first of a back-to-back game, they will certainly want to get some revenge. Look for them to win by near double-digits in this contest.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

CLIPPERS -6.5 (-110) is the pick here despite losing by 28 points on Thursday night to the Grizzlies. Los Angeles just had an awful shooting night in that game, going 34-84 (40.5%) from the floor. Memphis, on the other hand, couldn’t have been hotter as they shot an incredible 54.3% and 57.9% from the three-point line.

Don’t expect the shooting differential to be that drastic again on Friday night. Look for the Clippers to impose their will and win by near double-digits, covering the 6.5 point spread.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 226.5 (-110) feels like the right play in this as Memphis has a bottom-10 offense in the NBA. While that didn’t play out in their first meeting on Thursday, this is a team that averages just 110.8 points per night.

And with the Clippers having a top-six scoring defense, look for them to put on the clamps on Friday and keep the Grizzlies under 110 points in this game.

Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Thursday’s Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Los Angeles Clippers (23-10) travel to FedExForum Thursday to play the Memphis Grizzlies (13-14) at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Clippers-Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Los Angeles just finished a six-game homestand with 4-2 straight up and against the spread records. The losses came against the Brooklyn Nets (112-108 as a 6.5-point favorite) and Utah Jazz (114-96 as a 6.5-point underdog).

The Grizzlies have lost back-to-back games and have split their last eight games SU and ATS. Memphis hasn’t performed well as a home underdog this season and is 2-4 ATS with a minus-14.8 margin of victory and minus-8.8 spread differential in those spots.

The Clippers won last year’s regular-season series 2-1 but, the Grizzlies covered the spread in two of those games and their lone win was a 140-114 whooping.

Clippers at Grizzlies: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Clippers 121, Grizzlies 108

Money line (ML)

PASS because the -350 for the Clippers is too steep of a price for L.A. or any NBA regular-season favorite for that matter.

In my opinion, no team is a big enough lock for that kind of return on investment.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The Clippers at full health has been a rare sight since SF Kawhi Leonard and SG Paul George, and to a lesser extent PG Pat Beverley, came to town, but when these guys are on the court together they are dominant.

At least one of those three was missing in each of the first two Clippers-Grizzlies games last season—both of which Memphis covered. The Clippers had all three active in the final regular-season meeting and stomped the Grizz 124-97.

Furthermore, the Clippers hammer bad defensive squads. L.A. is 11-1 straight-up with a plus-4.6 spread differential against bottom-10 defenses, according to CleaningTheGlass.com.

Memphis, on the other hand, doesn’t do so well against good offenses as the Grizzlies are 3-5 overall with the 28th-ranked spread differential at minus-7.9 vs. top-10 offenses.

BET CLIPPERS -8.5 (-105) for 1 unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight lean on OVER 225.5 (-115) because L.A.’s defense has been far less tenacious this season compared to last, which is part of the reason the Clippers have a 20-12-1 O/U record this year.

The sharp side of the market is barrelling into the Under so I’d only make a tiny wager on OVER 225.5 (-115).
