Warriors at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 115, Warriors 111

Moneyline

This will be the 3rd straight game the Grizzlies will be without Ja Morant. They have lost the last 2 and are 4-6 when Morant doesn’t play.

But they are fantastic at home at 26-5, while the Warriors are dreadful on the road. They are 7-25 away from home and have lost 7 straight road games.

It is a surprise to see them favored on the road, which is why, even without Morant, I’m taking the underdogs at home.

The home team has won the last 7 matchups of the teams and 9 of the last 10 games.

BET GRIZZLIES (+120).

Against the spread

The Warriors are 8-22-1 ATS on the road. The Grizzlies are 19-11-1 ATS at home.

The Warriors are 0-3-1 ATS in their las 4 road games against teams with winning home records and 0-6-1 in their last 7 games on the road overall.

The Warriors are just, in general, a bad bet on the road.

Tonight, though, with positive odds for the Grizzlies on the moneyline, that is the better play and values, rather than the spread. No need to take the points when you think they can win outright.

PASS.

Over/Under

The 2 previous matchups this season had totals of 242 and 232.

The Under has hit in 7 of the last 8 games for the Warriors.

The Under is 6-1-1 in the Grizzlies’ last 8 home games and 10-2 in their last 12 games following an ATS loss.

BET UNDER 235.5 (-110).

Grizzlies at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 114, Grizzlies 105

Moneyline

BET LAKERS (-110).

Los Angeles has been figuring out how to win without James lately, after going 4-8 in its 1st 12 games this season without the 19-time All-Star.

The Grizzlies have lost 3 straight without Morant in the lineup and should struggle to contain Davis, who is averaging 33.8 points over his last 4 games, in the absence of C Steven Adams (knee).

Against the spread

BET LAKERS -1.5 (-112).

There is no need to pay the higher price on the spread, unless you don’t think the Lakers would likely cover the short spread with a victory. Bet the moneyline and/or bet the total.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 224.5 (-112).

The Under is 5-1-1 in Memphis’ last 7 games. The Grizzlies are 20th in points scored over their last 3 contests (113 per game) and should continue to struggle offensively without their leading scorer in Morant.

The Under is 5-0 in Los Angeles’ last 5 at home and the Lakers have allowed the 6th-least amount of points over their last 3 contests (110.7 per game).

Grizzlies at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 108, Grizzlies 102

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Clippers (-270) should win this game with ease as the Grizzlies are without Morant, but this is a bad bet. I am not a fan of betting such a heavy favorite, and I would avoid placing a moneyline bet here.

Against the spread

LEAN GRIZZLIES +6.5 (+100).

Both teams have been poor ATS as of late and on the season, but Memphis is the safer bet to cover. Memphis is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 road games, and LA is 1-6 in its last 7 playing on 1 day of rest. Memphis is also 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings between these teams, which is why it is the safer lean.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 227.5 (-110).

The Under is 10-1 in Memphis last 11 games following an ATS loss and 8-1 in their last 9 playing on 1 day of rest. The Under is also 12-3 in the Clippers’ last 15 home games vs. teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400.

Prediction

Grizzlies 119, Rockets 104

Moneyline

PASS.

The moneyline for Memphis presents no value in this matchup.

Against the spread

LEAN GRIZZLIES -9.5 (-115).

The Grizzlies’ offense ranks 9th in the league for points per game while the Rockets’ defense is ranked 28th for points allowed. Likewise, on the reverse, the Grizzlies’ defense ranks 6th in opponent points per game and 1st in opponent field goal percentage while the Rockets’ offense ranks 29th in points per game and 29th in field goal percentage.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 229.5 (-105).

Both teams will be playing on the back half of a back-to-back which will inevitably slow them down. The Under is 12-2 in the Grizzlies’ last 14 games after allowing 100 or more points in their previous game and 12-3-1 in their last 16 games overall.

Timberwolves at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 123, Timberwolves 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies have more star power with Wolves G D’Angelo Russell out in Minnesota. However, at (-270), they aren’t worth a play on the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -6.5 (-115).

The home team has covered every game between these teams through the first 3 matchups this season. Memphis did far less at the trade deadline and should have comradery on its side.

Memphis is also 16-10-1 ATS at home as well. Minnesota is just 11-15 ATS on the road this season. The Wolves have also alternated covering and not over their last 7 and are primed to fail to cover.

Ultimately, back GRIZZLIES -6.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 234.5 (-110).

The Timberwolves and Grizzlies both like to run, ranking 4th and 5th respectively in pace. They are going to push the tempo of this game, which should result in more points on the board.

The Wolves are 3-0-1 O/U in their last 4 while Memphis is 1-2 O/U in its last 3. Minnesota is 14-12 O/U on the road as well.

Combine it all and back the OVER 234.5 (-110).

Chicago Bulls at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

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

The Chicago Bulls (26-27) kick off a 3-game road trip on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies (32-21). Tip-off from FedEx Forum in Memphis is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Bulls vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Bulls have won and covered 3 games in a row. They beat the San Antonio Spurs 128-104 at home on Monday as 9.5-point favorites. The road has been a different story for Chicago, however, as it has won just once in the last 5 games away from home.

The 1st-place Grizzlies have dropped 3 in a row, and Memphis has failed to cover 3 in a row, while going just 2-8 ATS in the last 10 games overall. The Grizzlies lost 106-103 at home Sunday as 1.5-point favorite against the Toronto Raptors.

This is the 1st of 2 scheduled regular-season meetings, with the teams to meet each other against April 2 in Chicago.

Bulls at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 114, Grizzlies 110

Moneyline

The BULLS (+255) are a value play for a chance to more than double up.

The Grizzlies (-310) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return, and that’s risky business with Morant potentially sidelined, and Brooks on the shelf serving the final game of a suspension.

Against the spread

BULLS +7.5 (-105) is the play, with or without Morant in the lineup for the Grizzlies -7.5 (-115).

Chicago has covered in 4 of the last 5 games overall, while going 5-1-1 ATS in the last 7 when playing on no rest. It is also 5-1 ATS in the last 6 against teams with a winning overall record.

Over/Under

UNDER 233.5 (-115) is the lean, and it’s worth playing at a half-unit. If Morant is officially ruled out before tip-off, go a little heavier on the Under.

The Under has ruled the day for Chicago lately, going 7-2 in the last 9 games overall, while cashing in 5 of the last 6 on the road. The Under is 10-4 in the last 14 games in the second end of a back-to-back situation, too.

The Under has been a frequent happening for the Grizz lately, too, going 8-1 in the last 9 games overall, and 3-1-1 in the last 5 against teams with a losing overall mark.

Toronto Raptors at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

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

The Toronto Raptors (24-30) and Memphis Grizzlies (32-20) meet Sunday at FedExForum. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Raptors vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Raptors failed to cover the spread as 7.5-point favorites Friday in a 117-111 win at the Houston Rockets. G Fred VanVleet scored a game-high 32 points as Toronto failed to cover for the 3rd consecutive game. The Raptors are 5-0 against the spread (ATS) vs. the Grizzlies in the last 5 meetings in Memphis.

The Grizzlies failed to cover as 6.5-point underdogs Thursday in a 128-113 loss at the Cleveland Cavaliers. Grizzlies G Dillon Brooks will serve a 1-game league-issued suspension Sunday for his role in an on-court incident with Cavaliers G Donovan Mitchell. Memphis is 2-7 ATS in its last 9 games.

This is their 2nd meeting this season. In the 1st meeting on Dec. 29, the Grizzlies covered as 4.5-point road favorites with a 119-106 win.

Raptors at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 111, Raptors 110

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies (-180) should win, but they are a little overvalued on the moneyline considering Memphis is just 1-5 in its last 6 games without C Steven Adams. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET RAPTORS +4.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies have struggled without Adams in the lineup this year and were outscored 64-44 in the paint at the Cavaliers. The Raptors are profitable this season as road underdogs (10-8 ATS, 55.6%) and showed signs of improvement at the Rockets before getting backdoored on the cover with less than 15 seconds remaining. Look for the Raptors to come out extra focused Sunday as Toronto wraps up its 7-game road trip at Memphis. Take the points.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 230.5 (-110).

The Under is 5-1 in Toronto’s last 6 games vs. teams with a winning percentage above .600 and 7-1 in Memphis’ last 8 overall. The Under has hit in 34 of the last 45 meetings and Sunday should be another low-scoring matchup as both teams tighten up defensively in hopes of not dropping a 3rd game in their last 4.
