Clippers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 120, Clippers 116

Moneyline

The Grizzlies (-190) are just a little too expensive for my liking for a singular bet, especially with Morant on the injury report. While coach Taylor Jenkins said Morant is expected to play in the 2nd half of the back-to-back after resting his injury against the lowly Magic on Tuesday, proceed with caution in this game.

PASS.

Against the spread

The CLIPPERS +4.5 (-105) are a decent play at almost even money catching a couple of buckets, although go lightly, with a half-unit play at best.

There is uncertainly with the Grizzlies -4.5 (-115), although reports state Morant should be available.

Still, the Clips are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 games on the road, and the Grizzlies are playing for a 2nd consecutive night. The Grizz could have some heavy legs.

Over/Under

The lean is to the OVER 234.5 (-110).

The Over has cashed in 5 straight meetings between these teams. The Over is also 21-8 in the last 29 road games for Los Angeles, while going 4-0 in the previoust 4 against teams with a winning overall record.

The Grizzlies have cashed the Over in 5 of the last 7 games overall, while going 5-1 in the last 6 after a non-cover. The Over is also 18-7-1 in the past 26 home games against teams with a winning road record.

Orlando Magic at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

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

The Orlando Magic (32-43) visit the Memphis Grizzlies (47-27) on Tuesday. Tip from FedExForum is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Magic vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Orlando knocked off the Brooklyn Nets 119-106 as a 1.5-point home favorite Sunday for its 3rd straight win. The Magic are 5-5 straight up (SU) and 7-3 against the spread (ATS) in their last 10 games, improving to 42-32-1 ATS this season.

Memphis picked up its 6th straight win when it took down the Atlanta Hawks 123-110 on Sunday to cover as a 1.5-point road favorite. The Grizzlies are 9-1 SU and 5-4-1 ATS in their last 10 games, improving to 35-37-2 ATS on the season.

Memphis beat Orlando 123-115 to cover as a 6.5-point road favorite as the Over (230) cashed when these teams previously met on Jan. 5.

Magic at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 118, Magic 109

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no reason to risk nearly 3 times your potential return on the Grizzlies (-290) when they should win by margin.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -6.5 (-118).

The Grizzlies rank 7th in opponents’ points per game (112.4) and have the 2nd best opponents’ field-goal percentage (45.1%). The Magic rank 26th in points per game (111.8 ppg) and 19th in field-goal percentage (47.2%).

The Grizzlies are 22-13-2 ATS at home this season and are 2-1-1 ATS in their last 4 home games.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 231.5 (-112).

The Under is 8-1-1 in the Grizzlies’ last 10 Tuesday games, 6-1-1 in their last 8 games following an ATS win and 7-2-1 in their last 10 home games.

The Magic have scored more than 120 points just once in their last 7 games and the Under is 4-1 in their last 5 games. Orlando is 21-16 to the Under on the road this season and will have a hard time overcoming Memphis’ defensive play with a lackluster offense.

Memphis Grizzlies at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and predictions

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

The Memphis Grizzlies (46-27) battle the Atlanta Hawks (37-37) Sunday with tip from State Farm Arena set for 6 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Hawks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies beat the Hawks 128-103 on Dec. 12 in the only previous meeting this season as Memphis covered as a 9.5-point favorite and the Over 221.5 hit.

Memphis has won 5 in a row yet has covered just 2 of them, posting a 2-2-1 against-the-spread (ATS) record over that span. The Grizzlies are 8-1 straight up in their last 9. They are 34-37-2 ATS on the season. They are coming off a 151-114 win over Memphis on Friday, covering as a 12.5-point favorite.

Atlanta has won 5 of their last 9 and are 5-4 ATS over that span and 34-40 ATS on the season. The Hawks, who rank 3rd in the NBA at 118 points per game, are coming off a 143-130 win over the Pacers Saturday, covering as a 10-point home favorite.

Grizzlies at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 119, Hawks 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies are the superior side here, and they should win with ease. The spread over the moneyline odds is preferred here.

Against the spread

LEAN GRIZZLIES -2.5 (-105).

Memphis is 2-1-1 ATS in its last 4 games. It beat Houston by 37 and 5, taking down Dallas by 4 and Golden State by 14 in its last 4 games. The Grizzlies have brought back Morant and are competing at a high level. F Dillon Brooks will be active for this game as well.

The Hawks are 4-3 ATS over their last 7 and 3-2 ATS over their last 5 home games. Atlanta is just 17-19 ATS at home this season as well, so it hasn’t had much strength in front of its fans.

Ultimately, take GRIZZLIES -2.5 (-105) for a small unit.

Over/Under

BET OVER 224.5 (-105).

Atlanta has gone Over in 2 straight games, scoring 143 and 124. It has allowed 130 and 125 in those 2 as well, so its defense has been awful. The Hawks rank 23rd in the NBA in opponents’ points per game (117.8).

The Grizzlies have gone Over in 2 straight and in 5 of their last 6 games, scoring 130 or more in 3 of their last 4. Memphis ranks 8th in points per game (116.7).

These teams rank 7th (Atlanta) and 10th (Memphis) in pace as well, so it should be a high-tempo battle. Take the OVER 224.5 (-105) for a full unit.

Houston Rockets at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

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

The Houston Rockets (18-55) battle the Memphis Grizzlies (45-27) Friday. Tip from FedEx Forum is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockets vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Rockets lost 130-125 at the Grizzlies Wednesday but covered as 12-point underdogs. Houston has dropped 3 straight games, and 6 of its last 9, but is 5-2-1 against the spread (ATS) over its last 8 contests.

Grizzlies G Ja Morant returned from a 9-game absence in the victory, scoring 17 points. Memphis is just 2-4-1 ATS over its last 7 games, although it has won 6 of them outright, and trails the Western Conference-leading Denver Nuggets by 3.5 games.

This will be the last matchup of the season between the two sides. Memphis is 3-0 and 1-2 ATS through the first 3 meetings and the Over has cashed twice.

Rockets at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 122, Rockets 108

Moneyline

AVOID.

A -950 NBA favorite never deserves a play, despite that the Grizzlies are the best team in the West at home (31-5) and should come out on top with ease.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -13.5 (-105).

The Grizzlies and Rockets just played, and the chances that G Jalen Green and F Jabari Smith Jr. combined to go 7-for-15 from deep again and keep the game within reach for Houston is unlikely.

Morant played just 24 minutes in his return and should move to the starting lineup Friday. He was +11 in those minutes so expect a healthy dose of him which should propel a Grizzlies cover.

Memphis is 2-2-1 ATS in its last 5 home games while Houston is 13-22 ATS on the road, one of the worst road covering rates in the NBA. Memphis is 21-14-1 ATS at home. Back the GRIZZLIES -13.5 (-105).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 233.5 (-108).

Both teams shot over 50% from the field in the last matchup, and that is likely to be repeated. Memphis is 2-2 O/U in its last 4 home games while Houston is 1-5 O/U in its last 6 games overall.

The Rockets typically have problems scoring, going for 114 or fewer points in 6 of their last 7 games. Considering the inconsistency of the Rockets’ offense, back the UNDER 233.5 (-108).

Houston Rockets at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

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

The Houston Rockets (18-54) battle the Memphis Grizzlies (44-27) Wednesday. Tip from FedEx Forum is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockets vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Rockets are 0-2 straight up against Memphis this season, but they are 1-1 against the spread (ATS). The most recent matchup was a 113-99 win for Memphis in Houston. The line closed at 10.5, and the Under 232.5 hit.

Houston lost to the Golden State Warriors 121-108 Monday, failing to cover as an 11.5-point underdog. The Rockets are 4-2-1 ATS and 2-5 O/U in their last 7 games. They are 30-40-2 ATS on the season.

Memphis is 33-36-2 ATS on the season, coming off a 112-108 win at home Monday over the Dallas Mavericks, pushing as a 4-point favorite. The Grizzlies have won 6 of their last 7 yet are just 3-3-1 ATS over that span.

Rockets at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 120, Rockets 111

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Rockets are 1-6 straight up in their last 7 road games and are taking on the 2nd-best team in the West who might be getting their MVP-level guard (Morant) back.

It doesn’t make much sense to back them at (+650). The Grizzlies at (-950) has no value either as it is too much risk for the minuscule award.

Against the spread

LEAN ROCKETS -13.5 (-112).

The Rockets are 6-3-1 ATS over their last 10 games, and while Morant is available, he hasn’t been ruled active yet. How much he plays, having not played since March 3, isn’t known even if he does suit up.

Memphis is 17-24-2 ATS with one day off as well, which has by not playing Tuesday. Also, key players like Adams and Brooks will be sidelined. Houston should be a strong public fade as well which should bode well for the Rockets to cover.

For a partial unit, play ROCKETS -13.5 (-115) given their recent covering success.

Over/Under

BET OVER 229.5 (-110).

The Rockets have gone Under in 5 straight games, but they haven’t had a total this low. The Grizzlies also rank 9th in pace, so they may look to push the pace. Houston sits 15th in pace.

Memphis has gone Over in 3 of their last 4 and has either scored or allowed at least 120 in 3 of their last 4 games as well. It does rank 2nd in defensive rating, but the absence of Adams and Brooks may cripple the Griz defensively. Memphis is averaging 116 points per game as well.

Put it all together and take the OVER 229.5 (-110).

Warriors at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 120, Warriors 115

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no reason at all to bet the Warriors on the road. They are an abysmal 7-28 away from home and have lost 10 straight road games.

Meanwhile, Memphis is 28-5 at home.

The line isn’t bad for a wager on the Grizzlies, but there is better value betting the spread, whether you like the Warriors or the Grizzlies to cover.

Against the spread

The Warriors are not really any better on the road against the spread. They are 7-28 straight up on the road and 8-25-1 ATS away from home.

They are generally a bad bet away from home.

The Grizzlies are 20-12-1 ATS at home.

The Grizzlies beat the Warriors by 21 at home just nine days ago.

BET GRIZZLIES -2.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Their last meeting 9 days ago had 241 total points.

The Over is 9-2 in the Warriors’ last 11 road games against teams with a home winning percentage higher than .600 like the Grizzlies.

The Under is 5-1-1 in the Grizzlies’ last 7 games following a straight-up win.

Two of the 3 meetings between the teams have had totals higher than tonight’s projection.

Prediction

Grizzlies 128, Spurs 121

Moneyline

The Grizzlies are 13-22 on the road and have lost 3 of their last 4 away from home. The Spurs, though, are only 12-24 this season at home, although they are 3-3 in their last 6 home games.

That said, there isn’t enough confidence to pick the Spurs outright, while it isn’t worth the action having to wager almost 4 times what you can win on the Grizzlies.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Spurs are 17-17 ATS at home. The Grizzlies underperform against the spread compared to their win-loss record. They are 32-35-1 ATS overall this season and 12-23 ATS on the road.

The Grizzlies have beaten the Spurs 3 times this season, but have not won by more than 8 poits.

BET SPURS +8.5 (-105).

Over/Under

In 3 games between the two teams, the lowest total is 234 points. The Over is 5-0 in the Spurs’ last 5 Friday games. Four of the Spurs’ last 5 games have had totals higher than Friday’s projection.

BET OVER 234.5 (-112).

The Heat have struggled this season with a 25-43-2 ATS record on the season and an 11-24-1 ATS record at home. They are just 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games playing on 1 day’s rest, 3-13 ATS in their last 16 home games against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Wednesday games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 219.5 (-105).

The Heat rank 2nd in the NBA in opponent points per game and the Grizzlies rank 5th in the same category. With a slow pace created by both teams, points will be at a premium.

The Under is 5-1 in the Grizzlies’ last 6 road games and 4-0 in their last 4 Wednesday games. It is 3-0-1 in their last 4 games following an outright victory of 10 or more points and 5-0-1 in their last 6 games following an outright victory. The Under is also 4-0-1 in Memphis’ last 5 games following a ATS win.

Grizzlies at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 113, Grizzlies 108

Moneyline

A matchup that should have been Morant vs. Doncic now had neither player and Irving might miss the game, too. The Grizzlies are 6-7 without Morant in the lineup, but have won 2 in a row. The Mavericks are 3-8 without Doncic in the lineup.

The Grizzlies have struggled on the road this season at 12-21 and Mavericks have been solid at home at 22-13. But the home-road splits are hard to ignore. Because the Mavs play so much better at home and have positive odds on the moneyline, I like this bet.

BET MAVERICKS (+105).

Against the spread

The Mavericks are only 25-41-2 ATS on the season, the 2nd-worst mark in the NBA and they are 12-21-2 ATS at home. However, the Grizzlies aren’t a good bet on the road, either. They are 11-22 ATS on the road.

But because I like the Mavs to win outright, the ATS bet doesn’t come into play. PASS.

Over/Under

Their matchup in Memphis on Saturday had 220 total points and their game in Dallas in October had 233 points in a big Dallas win.

The Under is 4-0-1 in the Grizzlies’ last 5 games following a win. The Under is 5-1 in the Mavericks’ last 6 games playing a team with a winning record.

BET UNDER 224.5 (-110).

Mavericks at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 116, Mavericks 107

Moneyline

AVOID.

Dallas is just 12-20 on the road this season. Without Doncic, these odds are justified, and the underdog isn’t worth a play at all. Memphis is too pricey to play here as well.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -5.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies have played well without Morant, covering 2 of the 3 games he’s missed. They put a 21-point beatdown on the Warriors at home in their lone home game without Morant.

Players like G Desmond Bane and F Dillon Brooks can and have stepped up. Dallas, on the other hand, has failed to cover 3 in a row and is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 and 1-5 ATS in its last 6.

Memphis also ranks No. 1 in opponents’ field goal percentage (44.9%), so that defensive tenacity mixed with the absence of Doncic should result in a Grizzlies cover.

Back GRIZZLIES -5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 223.5 (-110).

Memphis allows the 6th-fewest points per game (112), and the Mavericks play at one of the slowest paces in the NBA. The Grizzlies are 2-6-1 O/U in their last 9 games.

Dallas is 4-3-1 O/U in its last 8. The Mavericks play at the 2nd-slowest pace in the NBA, and the Grizzlies’ style should adjust without Morant to be slower as well.

Considering it all, back the UNDER 223.5 (-110).
