The Memphis Grizzlies (27-52) travel to meet the Cleveland Cavaliers (46-33) Wednesday. Tip-off at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Cavaliers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Cavaliers lead 1-0, posting a 108-101 win in Memphis on Feb. 1, although the Grizzlies covered as 8.5-point underdogs and the Under (215.5) cashed

Grizzlies at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 114, Grizzlies 99

Moneyline

The Cavaliers (-2500) will cost you 25 times your potential return, or just a $4 profit for every $100 risked. There is never a reason to bet such a heavy favorite, especially when that team enters with 3 straight losses, and a 3-8 SU record in the past 11 games.

However, the banged up and tanking Grizzlies (+1150) also cannot be trusted to spring the upset.

PASS.

Against the spread

The GRIZZLIES +18.5 (-110) are worth a look catching more than 9 buckets.

Memphis has failed to cover the past 2 outings, but is 3-2 ATS in the past 5 games. In addition, it is a respectable 9-5 ATS in the past 14 tries as an underdog of 9 or more points dating back to Feb. 6.

Over/Under

OVER 210.5 (-115) is worth a look, but be careful not to get carried away.

Cleveland enters on a 7-2 Over run in the past 9 outings, while cashing in 6 straight games on its home floor.

However, there is risk, as Memphis has hit the Under in 4 straight games. The Under is also 8-1-1 in the past 10 for the Grizzlies when playing on no rest.

76ers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 112, Grizzlies 102

Moneyline

PASS.

Philly should come away with the win, but the 76ers are not worth the risk of betting on as -900 favorites. Bet on the spread and/or Over/Under instead.

Against the spread

LEAN GRIZZLIES +11.5 (-105).

Memphis has covered the spread in each of its last 3 games and is 6-4 ATS in its last 10 outings. The Grizzlies have covered the spread in 2 of their last 3 matchups with Philadelphia and are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 matchups dating back to January 2021.

This is a lean because the 76ers have been a very good team ATS lately, covering their last 5 games. Plus, the Grizzlies are phoning it in to end the season and the 76ers have been the better team ATS this season at 43-33-1 vs. the Grizzlies’ 38-39 ATS record.

Over/Under

BET OVER 209.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in 4 of Philadelphia’s last 5 games and is 39-36-2 for the Sixers this season.

For Memphis, the Over is 6-4 in its last 10 games overall and is 3-1 in its last 4 home games. The Over has also hit in 4 of the last 5 Philly-Memphis matchups and is 6-4 in the last 10 meetings.

Memphis Grizzlies at Milwaukee Bucks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Milwaukee Bucks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies (25-50) square off against the Milwaukee Bucks (47-28) Wednesday with tip-off from Fiserv Forum set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Bucks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Grizzlies lead 1-0

The Grizzlies took down the Detroit Pistons 110-108 as 2.5-point dogs Monday. C Jaren Jackson Jr. wouldn’t be denied with 40 points to lead all scorers. It was quite the far cry from the 10.7 PPG he averaged in the previous 3 games.

The Bucks were upset as 12.5-point favorites Tuesday by the Washington Wizards 117-113. F Giannis Antetokounmpo did all he could with 35 points, 15 boards and 10 assists — all game-highs. They’ve now lost 3 of 4 as some begin to ring the panic bell. The Bucks are 15-14 since Doc Rivers became coach, still 2nd in the East, 1½ games ahead of Cleveland and 12-games back of Boston, which already clinched the conference’s top seed for the playoffs.

Grizzlies at Bucks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 111, Grizzlies 103

Moneyline

The Grizzlies stunned the Bucks 113-110 in Memphis Feb. 15 — Milwaukee was a 14-point favorite and the O/U (223) pushed. This was a game that featured Giannis (game-high 35 points) and Lillard (24 points), while the Grizz were without Morant and Bane. F GG Jackson and F Ziaire Williams — likely done for the season with a hip injury — scored 27 points each, leading 6 Grizzlies in double figures in the surprising victory.

Are you willing to risk -900 on the Bucks tonight?

Good decision. PASS.

Against the spread

While going 3-7 straight up over the last 10, the Grizzlies are 5-5 ATS. The Grizzlies are also 7-1 ATS in the last 8 against Milwaukee, including 4 covers in a row. The Bucks don’t have a ton to play for, and the Grizzlies are vibin’.

TAKE GRIZZLIES +12.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Grizzlies are 7-3 O/U Over the last 10. During that stretch, the Over was 4-1 when the total was this high. Milwaukee is 6-3-1 O/U in its last 10.

We’re taking the OVER 217.5 (-115).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies (24-50) visit the Detroit Pistons (13-61) Monday. Tip-off from Little Caesars Arena is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Pistons odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Memphis leads 1-0 with a 116-102 road win Dec. 6

Memphis was routed 118-88 by the Orlando Magic Saturday while failing to cover as a 13-point road underdog. The Grizzlies, who have now lost 3 straight, shot only 36% from the field and 33.3% from deep in the loss. No scorer eclipsed the 16-point mark for Memphis in the loss.

Detroit beat the Washington Wizards 96-87 Friday while covering as a 3.5-point road underdog. G Cade Cunningham put up 33 points while C Jalen Duren added 17 boards for the Pistons in the win. Friday’s win ended an 8-game losing steak for the Pistons.

Grizzlies at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 107, Pistons 104

Moneyline

LEAN GRIZZLIES (+122).

Memphis has won 5 consecutive matchups vs. Detroit and is 8-2 in the last 10 head-to-head meetings. The Grizzlies are also a surprisingly solid road team at 16-22 in away games, while Detroit is only 7-31 at home.

This is only a lean because both teams are only 2-8 in their last 10 games and both are terrible. The only real advantage here is how dominant the Grizzlies have been recently vs. Detroit.

Against the spread

PASS.

I like Memphis +3 (-110) to cover here, but its odds are better on the moneyline.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 213.5 (-110).

The Under has hit in back-to-back games for the Pistons and is 8-2 in their last 10 overall.

For Memphis, the Under hit in its last outing and is 2-1 in its last 3 road games.

The Under has been safer for both teams this season at 39-34-1 for Memphis and 37-36-1 for the Pistons. The Under has also hit in 7 of the last 10 meetings between these squads.

Memphis Grizzlies at Orlando Magic odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Orlando Magic (42-31) welcome the Memphis Grizzlies (24-49) to Kia Center Saturday. Tip is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Magic odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Magic lead 1-0

The Magic, who sit 5th in the Eastern Conference, have lost 3 straight games, all at home. This streak comes on the back of a 5-game winning streak in which they covered each victory. They are coming off a 100-97 loss to the LA Clippers Friday, failing to cover as 1.5-point underdogs. Orlando is 47-26 against the spread (ATS) and 5-3 ATS over its last 8. It is led by F Paolo Banchero, who is averaging 22.5 points per game.

The Grizzlies have struggled for most of the season as many of their key players have been injured, and superstar G Ja Morant has played just 9 games. Memphis is coming off a 136-124 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, failing to cover as a 4.5-point underdog. It has lost 6 of its last 7 games and has gone 3-4 ATS in that span. The Grizzlies are 35-38 ATS on the season.

Grizzlies at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 116, Grizzlies 101

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies are 2-8 straight up over their last 10 and 1-4 on the road in that span, only beating the San Antonio Spurs. Despite Orlando’s (-820) recent home struggles, the Magic aren’t worth fading here.

However, they are also far too expensive to take on the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET MAGIC -13 (-110).

Orlando has covered its last 4 games as a double-digit favorite, including a 20-point home win over Charlotte as a 13-point favorite and a 15-point home win over Toronto as an 11-point favorite in the last 3 weeks.

Memphis has been an underdog of 11 or more 4 times in the last 3 weeks, and it is 1-3 ATS in those games. The Grizzlies have scored 103 or fewer in 3 of their last 5 road games.

Expect the Magic, who have the league’s 2nd-best defensive rating, to dominate this one. Back MAGIC -13 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 205.5 (-112).

The Grizzlies have gone Over in 6 of their last 7 games. They have allowed at least 128 points in 3 of their last 4 games, so the Magic should be able to score with ease Saturday.

For Orlando, it has allowed 106 or more in 2 of its last 4 games and at least 100 in 4 straight. It is 1-1 O/U in the 2 games which it has seen a total of 206 or fewer.

Considering the recent trends for Memphis, back OVER 205.5 (-112).

Los Angeles Lakers at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Lakers (40-32) make the 2nd stop on a 6-game road trip against the Memphis Grizzlies (24-48) Wednesday. Tip-off at FedEx Forum is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Lakers vs. Grizzlies odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1; Grizzlies won 127-113 in L.A. as 4-point underdogs in the most recent meeting (Jan. 5) as the Over (225.5) cashed

The Lakers outlasted the Milwaukee Bucks in double overtime Tuesday night at Fiserv Forum, erasing a 19-point deficit with 8:25 remaining in regulation. C Anthony Davis played a career-high 52 out of a possible 58 minutes in the win, ending with 34 points, 23 rebounds and 4 blocked shots to make up for the absence of F LeBron James (ankle). LeBron is considered probable for Wednesday’s contest.

The Grizzlies were pounded 128-103 in Denver Monday night, wrapping up a 4-game road trip with a 1-3 straight up (SU) record while covering at a 2-2 against-the-spread (ATS) clip. The Over went 3-1 on the trip, and it has covered in 5 of the past 6 outings.

Lakers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 121, Grizzlies 109

Moneyline

The LAKERS (-168) aren’t priced out of line yet, but if this gets above -180, then take a pass.

While Los Angeles gets LeBron back into the lineup after Tuesday’s epic 2OT game, the fact is the Lakers still played a tough, emotional game on the road, then had to travel. Even against a bad Grizzlies (+142) side which is rather banged up, it’s a tough turnaround, so be careful.

Against the spread

The LAKERS -4 (-108) are a strong play laying the 2 buckets. Even in the 2nd end of a back-to-back, after going to 2OT in Cream City, Los Angeles should have enough in the tank in the early stages of this road trip to get the job done against the Grizzlies +4 (-112).

Memphis has lost 5 of the past 6 games, and it is just 4-5 ATS in the past 9 outings, while going 2-5 ATS in the previous 7 outings at home.

Over/Under

OVER 221 (-112) is a solid play. The Over has cashed in 5 of the past 6 games for the Grizzlies, with Memphis surrendering at least 118 points in 4 of the past 5 outings.

Los Angeles is averaging a gaudy 139 PPG in the past 2 outings while going for 120 or more points in 4 of the past 5 games and 7 of the previous 9 outings. The Over is on a 9-3 run in the previous 12 contests for the Lake Show.

Season series: Nuggets lead 2-0; home team is 2-0 against the spread (ATS), with Over-Under splitting 1-1

The Grizzlies picked up a 99-97 win on the road against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday as a 6.5-point underdog as the Under (216.5) cashed. While Memphis has dropped 4 of the past 5 games, the Grizzlies are 3-1 ATS in the past 4 outings. The Over has cashed at a 4-1 clip in the past 5 games, too.

The Nuggets have won 3 in a row, averaging 114.0 points per game (PPG), while allowing 107.7 PPG in the 3-game win streak, cashing the Over in all 3 outings. Denver has won 8 of the past 9 outings, and 14 of the past 16 contests.

Grizzlies at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 113, Grizzlies 106

Moneyline

The Nuggets (-1350) will cost you 13 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s never a good idea to bet such a heavy favorite. It’s an especially bad idea when both Jokic and Murray are listed on the injury report while carrying questionable tags.

And if you think it might be tempting to take the Grizzlies (+810), they’re banged up, too, and cannot be trusted.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The GRIZZLIES +14.5 (-110) is worth a look, as the Nuggets -14.5 (-110) have a lot of uncertainty with Joker and the Blue Arrow carrying a 50-50 tag.

Now, if both Jokic and Murray are green-lighted to play, it would be a good idea to go a little lighter on Memphis. The Grizzlies are a respectable 2-1 ATS in the past 3 outings as a double-digit underdog, while going 8-2 ATS in the past 10 games as an underdog of 9 or more points.

Over/Under

OVER 212.5 (-110) is a strong play in the Mile High City.

The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 5 games for the Grizzlies, going for a respectable 111 or more points in 3 of the past 4 outings, while allowing 118 or more points in 3 of the past 4 contests.

For the Nuggets, they have had a surge of Over results, going 3-0 in the past 3 contests. However, again, wait as long as you can until more is learned about whether or not Jokic and/or Murray will play. It should be known 90 or so minutes before the game tips off. If one or both play, go a little harder on the Over. If both are out, it’s still worth playing, just go lighter.

Memphis Grizzlies at San Antonio Spurs odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Memphis Grizzlies at San Antonio Spurs odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies (23-47) travel to meet the San Antonio Spurs (15-54) on Friday night. Tip-off at Frost Bank Center is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Spurs odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Grizzlies lead 2-0; Memphis has won both meetings by at least 12 points, splitting 1-1 against the spread (ATS) and the Over-Under

The Grizzlies have won 13 consecutive games against the Spurs since Dec. 23, 2020, which was the opening game of the season in the COVID-shortened season. Memphis has failed to cover in 6 of the past 7 meetings, however, with the Over going 5-1 across the previous 6 battles.

Memphis has dropped its past 4 games, while going just 3-4 ATS in the past 7 outings. The Over is on a 4-0 run.

Grizzlies at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 109, Spurs 106

Moneyline

The GRIZZLIES (+210) are banged up, but worth a roll of the dice for the chance to double up. The Spurs (-255) just cannot seem to get out of their own way, and San Antonio still has just 15 wins on the season.

Memphis has dominated this series, and until San Antonio can start ticking off wins on the regular against the Grizzlies, keep backing Memphis.

Against the spread

If you’re a little on the conservative side, and just not feeling the GRIZZLIES +6 (-108) straight up, they’re a good play catching 3 buckets.

Memphis is a respectable 3-2 ATS in the past 5 games, while the Spurs -6 (-112) are 3-1 ATS in the past 4 outings. And while San Antonio is 5-1 ATS in 6 games as a favorite this season, it hasn’t been this large of a favorite all season. Since the Spurs struggle so much against the Grizzlies, San Antonio cannot be trusted.

Over/Under

UNDER 218 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Under is on a 4-1 run for the Spurs, going for 107 or fewer points in 4 of the past 5 outings. The Under cashed in the most recent meeting in Memphis on Jan. 2, also, with a total of 204 points on a total of 237.

The Over has cashed in 4 in a row for the Grizzlies, mostly due to the fact Memphis has struggled defensively, including 137 points allowed at Golden State, and 121 points in an OT loss at Sacramento prior to that. Those are good offenses, unlike San Antonio.

Grizzlies at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 121, Grizzlies 109

Moneyline

The Grizzlies are not awful on the road. Fifteen of their 23 wins have been in away games, but they have lost 7 of their last 9 on the road.

The Warriors (-650) are 17-18 at home this season and have lost their last 3 at Chase Center.

But the Warriors are healthy, and the Grizzlies are shorthanded. They have lost 10 of 13 and 18 of 23.

Don’t bank on an upset win for Memphis, but also don’t bet the Warriors at -650. It’s not worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

In 2 meetings this season, the straight-up winner has covered the spread.

Memphis is 34-35 ATS and has covered the spread in their last 2 losses.

The Warriors have covered the spread in 18 straight victories.

BET WARRIORS -10.5 (-115).

Over/Under

In their previous 2 meetings, the total was 223 and 222 points.

Memphis’ last 2 games have had more than 219 points.

Four of the last 6 for the Warriors have had totals higher than Wednesday’s projection.

BET OVER 218.5 (-115).

Memphis Grizzlies at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies (23-45) kick off a 4-game road trip Monday against the Sacramento Kings (38-28). Tip-off from Golden 1 Center is at 10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Kings odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Kings lead 2-0

The Grizzlies have lost 2 games in a row and 4 of their last 5. They are coming off a 118-112 home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday but covered the 10.5-point spread as underdogs. They are 13th in the conference and trail the No. 10 seed for a play-in berth by 13 games.

The Kings have won 4 of their last 6 but had a 2-game winning streak snapped in their last outing, a 98-91 home loss to the New York Knicks Saturday as 3-point favorites. They are 6th in the West, holding on to the final guaranteed playoff spot by percentage points over the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns.

Grizzlies at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 109, Grizzlies 102

Moneyline

The Grizzlies have been better on the road (15-18) than at home (8-27) this season and won 3 of their last 7 games, but they are 5-18 in their last 23.

Meanwhile, the Kings (-600) have won 4 of their last 6 games and are 8-5 in their last 13.

The Kings won both meetings in Memphis earlier this season, 123-92 Dec. 31 and 103-94 Jan. 29.

There is no reason to believe a banged-up Grizzlies squad will beat a healthy Kings team in the middle of the playoff race.

But backing the Kings at -600 doesn’t make for a good bet.

PASS.

Against the spread

Each team covered the spread in 1 of the 2 meetings this season in Memphis.

The Grizzlies are 33-35 ATS overall this season and 19-14 ATS on the road. Of their last 8 losses, 4 have been by more than 10 points.

Only 3 of the Kings’ last 8 wins have been by more than 10. They are 13-19 ATS at home.

Expect the Grizzlies to keep this within 10 points.

BET GRIZZLIES +10.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Neither of the previous 2 meetings this season reached the projected total for this matchup.

Four of the Kings’ last 6 games have had totals higher than 221 points.

But the Grizzlies have only had 1 of their last 5 games go higher than 221 points. They have averaged 100.8 points per game over their last 5 contests.

BET UNDER 221.5 (-115).
