Prediction
Grizzlies 126, Wizards 116
Moneyline (ML)
The GRIZZLIES (-129) are a nice play on the road, as they look to replicate the success they had Dec. 14 when they topped the Wizards (+105) by a 128-111 score in Memphis. The Grizz will be in even better shape if they get newly acquired G Jordan Bell and C Gorgui Dieng in the mix.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The GRIZZLIES (-1.5, -115) are a better play laying the points, as you won’t have to pay as much juice. Memphis is 5-0 ATS in the past five games as a favorite, 6-2 ATS in the past eight games overall and 4-1 ATS in the previous five against teams with a losing record. They’re also 8-3-1 ATS in the past 12 while working on one day of rest.
For the Wizards (+1.5, -106), they’re 4-1 ATS in the past five at home, but just 3-7 ATS in the past 10 after a straight-up win and 4-9 ATS in the past 13 following a cover.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 239.5 (-106) is a super high line, but it’s worth a small-unit play. The Over is 5-0 in the past five on the road for Memphis, and 4-1 in the past five overall. The Over is 7-1 in the past eight for Washington, too, and 6-1 in the past seven as a dog.
