Prediction

Wizards 124, Grizzlies 117

Moneyline (ML)

The WIZARDS (-115) are worth a look as slight favorites on the road, as the Grizzlies (-105) are playing the second end of a back-to-back set and they’re likely to have tired legs.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The WIZARDS (-1.5, -105) are a solid 7-5 on the road this season. They’re also a well rested side, and they’re 3-0-1 ATS in the past four when working on three or more days of rest.

The Grizzlies (+1.5, -115) are just 5-16 ATS in the past 21 when playing in the second end of a back-to-back, while going 2-5 ATS in the past seven overall at home.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the OVER 234.5 (-115) with or without Thomas’ involvement for the Wizards. The Under is 5-2 in the past seven for Memphis, still, the Grizzlies are unlikely to play strong defense while working on no rest. Tired legs lead to lazy defense.

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 2:20 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Warriors 116, Grizzlies 111

Moneyline (ML)

The Grizzlies have lost nine of their last 10 games and are 3-6 on the road this season. The Warriors are 2-7 at home but did win their last game there, beating the Chicago Bulls 104-90 Nov. 27 before embarking on a 1-4 road trip. Back GOLDEN STATE (-143) as a slight home favorite.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Golden State to win outright would profit $6.99. Every $1.43 bet on a Warriors win profits $1 if they do so.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Warriors rank 23rd in the league with a 4-5 ATS home mark, but come in 0.9 points per game below the cover line. The Grizzlies are 3-6 ATS on the road, while performing 2.2 points below projection.

Slightly lean toward GOLDEN STATE (-2.5, -115) to win by 3 or more points. The number came down from 3.5 points earlier in the day. A winning wager would deliver an $8.70 profit on a $10 bet.

Over/Under (O/U)

The projected total is 217.5 (Over: -125, Under: +105). Both teams allow more than the league average in points per game: Golden State allows 114.0, while Memphis gives up 117.0. The Warriors rank 19th at 100.31 possessions per game and the Grizzlies are sixth at 103.58. Memphis can push the pace just enough that backing the OVER is a worthy play.

Prediction

Spurs 123, Grizzlies 105

Moneyline (ML)

PASS. The Spurs (-625) are too expensive on the moneyline, although they should handle their business in this one. They’ll be on a mission after getting thumped by 20 in their building by the Boston Celtics Saturday. San Antonio had been 4-1 SU at home until that implosion. Avoid the Grizzlies (+450), as they have won just twice in nine tries.

New to sports betting? Every $1 wagered that San Antonio wins profits $0.16 if the Spurs prevail. (Ex: Bet $10 to win $1.60, $20 to win $3.20, $62.50 to win $10).

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The SPURS (-11.5, –106) are just 2-7 ATS overall this season, but they’re going to get well against a Grizzlies (+11.5, -115) side which is really struggling to find their identity.

Memphis has not only managed a 2-7 SU record, but they have covered in just two games this season, too, while going 0-2 SU/ATS on the road. Look for San Antonio to win and cover, getting on track as they head into the new week with authority.

Over/under (O/U)

The OVER 22.6.5 (-106) has connected in eight of the past nine games at home for the Spurs. Interestingly, the over is 12-3-1 in the past 16 games after San Antonio allows 125 or more points in their previous game. Conversely, the over is 7-1 in the past eight when Memphis is thumped by 10 or more points at home, so it’s the perfect storm for a high-scoring battle in Texas.
