Grizzlies at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 124, Hawks 121

Moneyline

PASS.

While there is some credence to this being a good play and reducing some risk on the spread, the Hawks have disappointed at home, and that should continue Saturday.

Memphis is better played on the spread than the slightly more expensive moneyline odds.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -1.5 (-110).

The Hawks’ success has usually came on the road than at home. They are just 4-9 ATS in Atlanta and have failed to cover in 4 of their last 5 games. Atlanta has allowed at least 132 points in 3 of its last 5 games.

The Grizzlies have been on fire for bettors and have covered in 5 of their last 6 games, scoring at least 135 points in 3 of their last 4. Memphis is 7-5 ATS on the road. Back GRIZZLIES -1.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 242.5 (-105).

Both teams can score with ease and also play at a fast tempo, a good recipe for points. Memphis is 17-11 O/U on the season and 3-2 O/U in its last 5 games. It has scored at least 127 in 4 of its last 5.

The Hawks, who are 18-10 O/U on the season, have allowed at least 132 in 3 of their last 5 and have scored at least 119 in 4 of their last 7. Considering those trends, play OVER 242.5 (-105).

Golden State Warriors at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Golden State Warriors at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Golden State Warriors (14-11) visit the Memphis Grizzlies (18-9) Thursday. Tip-off from FedExForum is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Warriors vs. Grizzlies odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Golden State leads 1-0 with 123-118 home win Nov. 15

Golden State lost 143-133 to the Dallas Mavericks Sunday while failing to cover as a 1-point home underdog. The Warriors’ defense has continued to decline since starting the season out hot as they allowed 81 first-half points to Dallas and allowed the Mavs to shoot over 50% from the field and over 50% on 3-pointers.

This is likely to be the debut for G Dennis Schroder in Golden State, who the Warriors acquired from the Brooklyn Nets Sunday.

Memphis had its 4-game winning streak snapped in a 116-110 loss against the Los Angeles Lakers Sunday as a 2.5-point road favorite. The Grizzlies’ offense struggled and they shot just 39.2% from the field and 32.1% from deep vs. L.A.

Warriors at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 117, Warriors 110

Moneyline

LEAN GRIZZLIES (-140).

Memphis is a blazing hot, going 8-2 in its last 10 games while the Warriors are just 2-8 in their last 10 games. The Grizzlies have also won 7 straight home games and are 4-1 in their last 5 home games against Golden State.

This is a lean because the Warriors have won the last 3 games against Memphis.

Against the spread

PASS.

The Warriors lead 6-4 over the last 10 meetings and despite the games being tightly contested, none have finished with a margin of victory smaller than 5 points since January of 2023.

Placing a small wager on the Grizzlies here is fine as whoever wins this game will likely do so by at least a few possessions, but the Warriors are still too good for me to advise backing the Grizzlies ATS for this game.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 235.5 (-105).

The Under has hit in Golden State’s last 6 road games and is 13-12 for the Warriors this season. For Memphis, the Under hit in its last game. The Under has also hit in each of the last 2 meetings between these teams in Memphis.

Season series: Tied 1-1 with Memphis winning at home 131-114 on Nov. 6 and the Lakers winning at home 128-123 on Nov 13

The Grizzlies picked up a 135-119 win over the Brooklyn Nets last time out on Friday, covering as a 10-point favorite. Memphis has won and covered the past 4 games, while the Grizzlies are 10-1 straight up (SU) while going 9-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 11 outings.

The Lakers were tripped up 97-87 by the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday as an 8.5-point underdog as the Under (213.5) connected. The Lakers are 1-4 SU in the past 5 games, while going just 3-10 ATS in the previous 13 outings. The Under is 8-2 in the past 10 contests.

Grizzlies at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 122, Lakers 113

Moneyline

The Grizzlies (-175) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s just a little too expensive for a standalone wager, especially for a team playing on the road.

However, the Lakers (+145) have won just 3 times in the past 11 games and cannot be trusted, even at home.

PASS.

Against the spread

Back the GRIZZLIES -3.5 (-115) laying the points on the road. The Lakers +3.5 (-105) have managed to cover just 3 times in the past 13 outings.

Memphis has covered 4 games in a row, while going 15-3 ATS in the past 18 games since Nov. 6. The Grizzlies are also 6-1 ATS in the past 7 outings on the road.

While the Lakers have won 3 of the past 4 meetings in this series, the Grizzlies have covered 3 in a row, while going 4-1 ATS in the past 5 meetings.

Over/Under

OVER 232.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play.

The Over has cashed in 6 consecutive meetings since Nov. 14, 2023. The total has gone high in 3 straight games for the Grizzlies, too, while cashing at a 8-4 clip in the past 12 outings.

For the Lakers, the Under has cashed in the past 2 games, but the total has split 2-2 in the past 4 outings.

Brooklyn Nets at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Brooklyn Nets at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Brooklyn Nets (10-14) and Memphis Grizzlies (17-8) meet for the final time this regular season Friday. Tip-off from FedExForum is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Nets vs. Grizzlies odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brooklyn leads 2-0 with a 119-106 road win Oct. 30 and a 106-104 win at home on Nov. 4 as the Under cashed in both games

Brooklyn lost 118-113 to the Milwaukee Bucks Sunday while covering as a 6-point home underdog. G Dennis Schroder scored 34 points and had 11 assists while F Cameron Johnson and C Nic Claxton each scored 20 points.

Memphis dominated the Washington Wizards 140-112 Sunday while covering as a 10-point road favorite. It was a win-by-committee type of game for the Grizzlies, who had 7 players score in double figures. The Grizzlies have won 3 straight games.

Nets at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 113, Nets 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies will pick up the win and cover here as -550 favorites, but they are not worth the risk of backing here as such heavy favorites, especially not when going against a very scrappy Nets team.

Against the spread

BET NETS +10.5 (-110).

The Nets have covered in 2 straight games and are 15-8-1 ATS this season. Brooklyn is also 4-1 ATS in its last 5 matchups with Memphis.

The Nets have performed well above expectations so far this year, and I expect that they will give the Grizzlies a fight here.

Be aware that the Grizzlies are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 230.5 (-110).

The Over is 3-1 in Brooklyn’s last 4 games. The Under has hit in the last 2 Brooklyn-Memphis matchups and is 3-1 in the last 4 meetings. For Memphis, the Under is 2-1 in its last 3 home games.

This is a lean because the Over is 16-9 for the Grizzlies this season and because the Over/Under numbers are 5-5 in the last 10 matchups between these squads.

Memphis Grizzlies at Washington Wizards odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Washington Wizards odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Memphis Grizzlies (16-8) square off against the Washington Wizards (3-18) Sunday evening. Tip-off from Capital One Arena is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Grizzlies vs. Wizards odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Grizzlies lead 1-0

The Grizzlies are flyin’ high after a 127-121 win at TD Garden over the defending champion Boston Celtics Saturday night. They entered as 7-point dogs. G Ja Morant nearly had a triple-double with 32 points, 9 boards and 9 assists while F Jaren Jackson Jr. added 27 points, 9 boards and 4 blocks. The Grizz have won 8 of 10.

Story time! I was scrolling through some scores Saturday night to see if any live bets were worthy of some action. I noticed the Denver Nuggets were down 12 at halftime to the 2-win Wizards. Is Nuggets C Nikola Jokic playing? Yes. So, I considered playing the Nuggets +2.5, but something felt off and I didn’t love the line down 12 on the road. I’m glad I didn’t because the Wizards won 122-113 as 11.5-point dogs. G Jordan Poole had 39 points on 9-for-20 from 3-point land to outlast Jokic’s 56 points. The win ended a 16-game losing streak.

Grizzlies at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 128, Wizards 101

Moneyline

These teams met in Memphis Nov. 8, and the Grizz covered as 8-point favorites with a 128-104 win. Morant and G Desmond Bane were out for that one.

There is no bet here after the Wizards cashed as +525 dogs Saturday night. That’s a perfect example of why you don’t bet on such huge favorites.

Instead, I like JAREN JACKSON JR. OVER 1.5 THREE-POINTERS (-105). He was 3-for-4 from deep Saturday and has hit 2 from downtown in 3 of 4. C Jonas Valanciunas will be matched up against him, and he’s a big, hulking center that Jackson will want to try to exploit out on the perimeter.

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

Against the spread

Despite this game being in Washington and on the heels of one of the biggest upsets of the entire NBA season, I’m going GRIZZLIES -11.5 (-110). I don’t love it, but I guarantee you that opened Memphis’ eyes in a game maybe the Grizz took a little lighter than normal. Ja and the boys cruise.

Over/Under

The Grizzlies are 6-4 O/U in the last 10, and Washington is 3-6-1. The Wiz scored 122 Saturday night, which was the most they’d scored in 10 games. I see them reverting back to their 25th-ranked 107.4 PPG average, and I don’t see Memphis topping 130 to cash an Over on a back-to-back.

Take the UNDER 240.5 (-110).

Grizzlies at Celtics picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 119, Grizzlies 116

Moneyline

PASS.

The Celtics have consistently won at home and should come out on top Saturday. However, they are far too expensive to play to win outright. While the Grizzlies have enticing odds, they are better played on the spread.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES +6.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies have been on fire, much like the Celtics. They are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games and are 4-1 ATS on the road in that stretch. Memphis has scored at least 115 in 8 straight games and should score enough to keep pace with Boston.

In their last 10 games, the Celtics have gone 9-1 straight up but are just 2-8 ATS. They have won and not covered in 7 of those. Boston has scored 111 or fewer in three of its last 4.

Expect Memphis to be able to keep things close. Back GRIZZLIES +6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 239.5 (-115).

The Celtics have gone Under in three of their last four games and sit 23rd in the NBA in pace. Boston has allowed 105 or fewer in 5 of their last 8, going 3-5 O/U.

Memphis is 2-4 O/U in its last 6 games and has scored 120 or fewer in 3 of its last 4. It has allowed 111 or fewer in 4 of its last 6. Considering this lofty total and those trends, back UNDER 239.5 (-115).

Season series: First meeting; Kings swept 3-0 last season

The Grizzlies lost to the Dallas Mavericks 121-116 Tuesday, closing as 4.5-point road underdogs. They were spearheaded by G Ja Morant, who dropped 31 points on 11-for-22 shooting. Memphis has covered 5 of its last 7 games, going 6-1 straight up (SU). It is 14-8 against the spread (ATS) on the season.

The Kings beat the Houston Rockets 120-111 Tuesday, covering as 1.5-point home favorites. C Domantas Sabonis led the way with 27 points. Sacramento is 2-6 SU/ATS in its last 8 games. It has recently found its offensive rhythm, scoring at least 120 points in 2 straight. The Kings are 8-13-1 ATS on the season.

Kings at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 120, Kings 115

Moneyline

PASS.

While one could argue for the moneyline on both sides, given the way this game is expected to go, the spread is the better play for the home side. Look there for a solid wager.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -3.5 (-105).

The Grizzlies have been on fire, and they have been even better at home. Over their last 5 home games, they have gone 4-1 ATS and 5-0 SU. They are 3-0 ATS as single-digit favorites.

The Kings have been the opposite of on fire. In their last 4 road games, they are 1-3 SU/ATS. The 3 losses were to the LA Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers and San Antonio Spurs, who are all underdogs to make the playoffs at BetMGM Sportsbook.

Considering those trends, back GRIZZLIES -3.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 241.5 (-110).

This total is just too lofty to take. The Kings are 2-3 O/U this season in games with a total of 235 or more points. They are 4-4 O/U in their last 8 games, allowing 115 or fewer points in 6 of the 8.

The Grizzlies are 2-3 O/U in their last 5 and have allowed 111 or fewer in 5 of their last 9. Considering those trends and this high total, back UNDER 241.5 (-110).

Grizzlies at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 126, Grizzlies 123

Moneyline

PASS.

While Memphis may be enticing to play straight up given how hot it is, the better play is the road side on the spread instead. Avoid the expensive Mavericks ML play.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES +4.5 (-115).

The Grizzlies have been among the best teams in the league both after a win and on the road. They are 5-3 ATS away from home and 8-5 ATS following a victory. Memphis has scored at least 118 in 3 straight road games, as well, so it should have the potency on offense to keep things close.

The Mavericks, over their last 6 home games, have really only played 3 playoff-contending teams — New York, Phoenix, and Indiana — going 1-2 ATS. While Dallas has a terrific offense, Memphis is 4th in defensive efficiency and should be able to tame the Mavericks.

Take GRIZZLIES +4.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 244.5 (-105).

The pace and star power in this battle makes the Over the better play. The Grizzlies rank 3rd in tempo with the Mavericks sitting 9th in the NBA. Memphis has scored at least 120 in 5 straight and eclipsed 130 in 3 of the 5.

Dallas has scored at least 129 points in 3 of its last 4 games and allowed at least 114 in 5 of its last 6. Considering those trends, back OVER 244.5 (-105).

Pacers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 122, Pacers 110

Moneyline

I am with the Grizz here, but frankly, I’m a little surprised at how much discrepancy there is on the ML. The Pacers are 9-11 overall and 2-8 on the road, but they aren’t so far behind the Grizzlies to have a +200 ML. If you have a free bet, I’d consider it because they have a better chance at winning than their odds suggest.

I’m going with JA MORANT OVER 21.5 POINTS (-120). I looked at this and wondered why this number was so low. He has really not been aggressive this year. He’s averaging nearly 4 fewer PPG and nearly 3 1/2 fewer shot attempts but has a career-high 9.1 assists per game. Lately, though, he has been shooting more – dropping 27, 22, 20 and 25 in his last 4 games. It could be a sign of things to come.

Against the spread

The Pacers are just 1-8-1 over their last 10. They beat Memphis last January, but Memphis was without Morant and SG Desmond Bane. Memphis has also covered in 6 straight meetings.

Yes, I alluded to the Pacers having a chance to win this game. The smart money, though, is on the GRIZZLIES -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over is 1-3-1 in the last 5 meetings. The Pacers are 2-2 O/U in their last 4, and Memphis has cashed Unders in 2 of 3. I’m going Under here because the Pacers just aren’t the same team this year – at least not yet. They’re tied for 10th in the league at 114.4 PPG and 11th in pace. They’re also 21st with 12.3 made 3-pointers per game and 28th in boards. Both of those are going to have to be targeted at the trade deadline if they want to make a push.

Take the UNDER 244.5 (-115).
