Pistons at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 122, Pistons 110

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies (-375) will win this game comfortably on Wednesday which is why I’m going to take my bet to the spread.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -8.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies crushed the Trail Blazers on Monday and have dominated the Pistons with 7 straight wins and covers. Memphis is red-hot, covering the spread in 9 of its last 10 games, while Detroit has failed to cover in 4 straight. Morant looked sharp despite limited minutes.

Meanwhile, the Pistons face issues at point guard, ranking 24th in turnovers per game, and Cade Cunningham is doubtful to play. Even if he suits up, his impact will likely be limited. Back the Grizzlies to cover again.

Over/Under

BET OVER 227.5 (-110).

Memphis, ranked 3rd in pace of play, should keep this game fast-paced against Detroit. The Pistons have hit the Over in 2 of their last 3 games, while the Grizzlies have gone Over in 7 of their last 10.

Memphis C Jaren Jackson Jr. continues to shine, posting 20+ points in 3 straight games and 11 times in 16 games. Averaging 22.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks while shooting 53.1%, Jackson dominates on both ends. Detroit, likely without Cade Cunningham, will struggle to keep up. Expect Jackson and F Brandon Clarke to control the paint as Memphis piles on the points.

LA Clippers at Washington Wizards odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s LA Clippers at Washington Wizards odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The LA Clippers (11-8) and Washington Wizards (2-14) meet Wednesday at the Capital One Arena. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Clippers vs. Wizards odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Clippers won 2-0 last season

The Clippers saw their 5-game win streak snapped in a 126-94 loss to the Boston Celtics on Monday. They missed covering as 10.5-point road underdogs with the Over 218.5 hitting. Struggles from beyond the arc hurt, as LA shot just 26.9% (7-of-26). C Ivica Zubac stood out, posting his 4th straight double-double with 23 points and 10 rebounds.

The Wizards extended their losing streak to 12 games on Tuesday, falling to the Chicago Bulls 127-108. They failed to cover as 5.5-point home underdogs as the Under 243.5 hit. F Kyle Kuzma led all scorers with 23 points, adding 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. However, Washington struggled inside, getting outscored 60-46 in the paint, highlighting their interior defensive woes.

Clippers at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 116, Wizards 102

Moneyline

PASS.

The Clippers (-500) will win this game comfortably on Wednesday night which is why I’m going to take my bet to the spread.

Against the spread

BET CLIPPERS 10.5 (-110).

The Clippers have owned the Wizards recently, winning and covering in 6 straight matchups. Under Ty Lue, the Clippers are a disciplined, well-coached team, having covered 5 of their last 6 games. Meanwhile, Washington continues to struggle, going 1-4-1 ATS over its last 6. The Wizards lack consistency and have routinely been overmatched as double-digit underdogs, making them a tough team to trust in this spot, especially playing the second leg of a back-to-back.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 222.5 (-105).

I like the Under with the Wizards playing the second leg of a back-to-back and missing leading scorer Poole. The Under has hit in 4 of Washington’s last 5 games and is 4-3 in their home games. The Clippers have hit the Under in 4 of their last 6 games, and it’s 4-2 when they’re favored. These teams combine for 217.2 points per game, nearly 5 points below the posted total.

Clippers at Wizards odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 107, Wizards 104

Money line

PASS because I only lean towards L.A. plus the points but am not confident enough to sprinkle on the Clippers (+160). Also, my favorite play in this game is the Under.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the CLIPPERS +4.5 (-107) because L.A. has exceeded expectations recently while Washington has not and this is just a bad spot for the Wizards -4.5 (-115).

For instance, the Clippers have covered 3 of their last 4 games and the Wizards are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games.

Furthermore, Washington is 1-14-1 ATS in their last 16 games versus teams with an overall losing record and has the worst ATS margin (minus-7.9) when facing teams in the bottom-10 teams, according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG).

Finally, the Wizards are 5-10 ATS with a minus-4.5 ATS margin versus Western Conference teams and an NBA-worst 7-15 ATS as a favorite with a minus-4.2 ATS margin.

“LEAN” to the CLIPPERS +4.5 (-107) for a quarter-unit.

Over/Under

BET the UNDER 219.5 (-107) for 1 unit mostly because this will be the least bet line in the Clippers-Wizards game and, generally, that’s where you find profit in sports betting.

According to Pregame.com and the Yahoo! Sports app, more than 75% of the cash wagered is on the Over and we know three-fourths of the betting public doesn’t win in this racket.

On top of that, L.A. is eighth in adjusted defensive rating and 26th in adjusted offensive rating whereas Washington is just 23rd in adjusted offensive rating, per CTG.

Although the Wizards don’t grade out well in defensive efficiency, they do a good job defending what the Clippers do often, which is getting out in transition.

For example, L.A. plays the sixth-highest frequency of transition offense but has the second-worst offensive efficiency in the fastbreak.

But, the Wizards are third in defensive efficiency versus transition offense and allow the fewest fastbreak points per game (PPG).

Finally, Washington is 20th in pace and L.A. is 21st in pace this month. Fewer possessions mean fewer points unless these teams have a hot-shooting night.

For the record, the UNDER 219.5 (-107) is my favorite wager in this game.
