Grizzlies at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 106, Grizzlies 105

Moneyline

PASS.

The Cavaliers (-230) are a little overpriced on the moneyline, even if Morant sits on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES +5.5 (-101).

Even if Morant isn’t available, Memphis will still be extra focused to bounce back on national television after blowing a 2nd-half double-digit lead vs. Portland on Wednesday. Playing 2 days in a row should be fine for the Grizzlies as Memphis is 4-3 ATS this season on the 2nd night of a back-to-back and excels against Eastern Conference teams, owning a league-best 14-5-1 ATS record in non-conference games. Take the points.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 223.5 (-106).

The Under is 7-0 in Memphis’ last 7 games and 5-1 in Cleveland’s last 6. These teams tend to play low-scoring games vs. each other, with the Under hitting in 5 of the last 7 meetings, and Thursday’s matchup should be another slower-paced contest as both teams tighten up defensively to avoid losing back-to-back games.

Portland Trail Blazers at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Portland Trail Blazers at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Portland Trail Blazers (24-26) open a 3-game road trip when they face the Memphis Grizzlies (32-18) Wednesday. Tip-off from FedExForum is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Trail Blazers vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Trail Blazers have won 3 of the past 4 games overall, bouncing back after a 3-game losing skid from Jan. 17-22. Portland is still having an issue against the number, cashing in just 2 of the past 7 games. The Over is 3-1 in The Balzers’ last 4 outings, including hitting the Over (232.5) last time out in a 129-125 victory over the Atlanta Hawks Monday.

The Grizzlies picked up a 112-110 win over the Indiana Pacers Sunday, halting a 5-game losing skid. Memphis is also just 2-5 against the spread across the past 7 games overall, while the Under is on a 6-0 run.

Memphis recorded a 111-106 victory when these teams first met on Nov. 2, although Portland was able to record a cover as a 5.5-point underdog while the Under (228) connected.

Trail Blazers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 117, Trail Blazers 109

Moneyline

The Grizzlies (-220) will cost you over 2 times your potential return, and that’s too expensive, even if they are nearly unbeatable at home. Memphis is 21-3 in 24 games at the FedExForum while Portland is just 10-15 in 25 outings on the road.

PASS.

Against the spread

The GRIZZLIES -5.5 (-110) are worth playing, as the Trail Blazers have had a rough go of it lately.

Portland has failed to cover in 8 straight games on the road and is 2-7 ATS in the past 9 games against winning teams. The Blazers are also 4-10 ATS in the past 14 games overall and 2-12 ATS in the past 14 when working on a single day of rest.

Over/Under

UNDER 234.5 (-110) is a solid play based on the team and head-to-head trends.

The Under has cashed in 4 of the past 5 meetings in this series. Memphis has hit the Under in 6 in a row, while Portland has hit the Under in 21 of the past 29 games on the road. The Blazers have also cashed the Under in 7 in a row on the road against teams with a winning home record and in 4 of the past 5 against teams with a winning overall mark.

Indiana Pacers at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

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

The Indiana Pacers (24-27) visit the Memphis Grizzlies (31-18) Sunday. Tip-off from FedEx Forum is set for 6 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Pacers vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Indiana is coming off a 141-131 loss Friday as a 6.5-point home underdog at Milwaukee. It was the Pacers’ 2nd loss in a row and their 9th in the last 10 games. They’re an ugly 2-8 against the spread (ATS) — unless of course, you’ve been fading (betting against) them — during the slide which has seen them fall from 23-18 to 24-27.

This will be a tough battle for Indiana, which lost as a 7.5-point home dog to Memphis 130-112 Jan. 14 in the 1st head-to-head of the season. Indiana is terrible on the road (8-17), while Memphis is an NBA-best 20-3 at home.

Surprisingly, the Grizzlies enter on a 5-game skid, losing every game off a 5-game road trip against Western Conference opponents. Their most recent outing was a 111-110 loss as 1.5-point favorites at Minnesota Friday. Memphis went 1-4 ATS during the swing.

Overall, expect the Grizzlies to be excited — and focused — to return to their home floor for this matchup against a struggling Pacers club.

Pacers at Grizzlies key injuries

Pacers

G Tyrese Haliburton (knee, elbow) out

Grizzlies

C Steven Adams (knee) out
G Desmond Bane (knee) doubtful

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Pacers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 121, Pacers 108

Moneyline

AVOID.

Memphis (-350) should win this game, but the fact that it is this heavily favored is a little outrageous. Neither team is hot and Memphis has lost 5 in a row. Much of this line is likely due to Indiana missing its best player in Haliburton, but the line is still a bit absurd.

Memphis should win, but the risk of wagering 3.5 to win 1 unit is not worth the reward.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -8.5 (-110).

As mentioned, the Pacers have been terrible ATS recently, and without Haliburton, they pose little to no threat against anyone, especially vs. the Grizzlies.

The Pacers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing off a day of rest, and despite the Grizzlies being so cold right now, this should be an easy bounce back win for Memphis.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 241.5 (-112).

The Under is 5-0 in Memphis’ last 5 games. While those were all losses, this game likely will not be, but the Under is still a safer lean here. However, be warned: Memphis hit 8 Overs in a row prior to the 5-game slide.

With Indiana missing their best player and with Memphis missing role players, there will be scoring missed on both sides. Neither team is shy about playing defense, which also makes the Under a much better bet for this one.

Memphis Grizzlies at Minnesota Timberwolves odds, picks and predictions

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

The Memphis Grizzlies (31-17) battle the Minnesota Timberwolves (25-25) Friday. Tip from Target Center is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies and Timberwolves have met twice this season with both teams covering at home. The Under is 2-0 with neither team having topped 115 in either matchup.

Memphis is coming off a 122-120 loss at the Golden State Warriors Wednesday but still covered as a 2.5-point underdog. The Grizzlies are 23-24-1 ATS this season yet are just 1-4 ATS over their last 5 games. Memphis is ranked No. 1 in opponents’ field goal percentage (44.7%).

Minnesota beat the New Orleans Pelicans 111-102 Wednesday, covering as a 2-point road underdog. The Wolves are 23-27 ATS this season and 4-1 ATS over their last 5 games. Minnesota ranks 4th in the NBA in field goal percentage (49.2%).

Grizzlies at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 118, Grizzlies 115

Moneyline

SPRINKLE TIMBERWOLVES (+130).

The Wolves are 16-10 straight up at home while Memphis is 11-14 straight up on the road. Both teams have won and covered on their home court this season.

Memphis has also lost 4 in a row, all on the road against Western Conference teams. The Griz return home after this game and may experience some fatigue as they wrap up a 5-game road trip.

Against the spread

BET TIMBERWOLVES +3.5 (-115).

The Grizzlies have been awful ATS in recent weeks, posting a 3-7 ATS record since Jan. 8. The Wolves are 6-4 ATS since that date, including 3-1 ATS at home.

Minnesota is top-10 in both offensive field goal percentage (49.2%, 4th) and defensive field goal percentage (46.7%, 9th), so it can play well on both ends of the court. Memphis, while flashy, ranks 20th in field goal percentage (47%) and 22nd in 3-point field goal percentage (34.9%). Its offense hasn’t been as dynamic, and on the road, it’s been even rougher.

Back the TIMBERWOLVES +3.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 238.5 (-110).

While both offenses seem like high-pace attacks, it makes the total almost unplayably high. In both games between these games, the total has ended under 220, with the first meeting hitting 217 (Nov. 11) and the latter hitting 210 (Nov. 30).

Like Friday, both previous meetings had a closing total over 230 points, and with the Wolves’ leading scorer still out and the Grizzlies’ most dominant rebounder out, back the UNDER 238.5 (-110).

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

The Memphis Grizzlies (31-16) play the 4th contest in a 5-game road trip against the Golden State Warriors (23-24) Wednesday. Tip-off from Chase Center is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN).

The Grizzlies have lost the first 3 games of their road trip and have failed to cover in each of the past 4 games overall. Memphis is 2-7 against the spread (ATS) in the past 9 games, while the Under is 3-0 in the past 3 outings.

Golden State has alternated losses and wins in the past 7 games, most recently losing 120-116 at home against the Brooklyn Nets Sunday. It also failed to cover as a 7.5-point favorite, snapping a 3-0 ATS streak. The Over is 5-1-1 in the past 7 games overall.

Grizzlies at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 124, Grizzlies 119

Moneyline

The WARRIORS (-150) are a solid play on their home court. Golden State easily took care of business in the last meeting with the Grizzlies in San Francisco on Dec. 25.

The Grizz have really hit the skids in the first 3 games of the road trip, and it won’t get better against the Dubs.

Against the spread

The WARRIORS -2.5 (-115) are looking to bounce back after a loss last time out and that’s good news as Golden State is 11-5 ATS in the past 16 games after a straight-up loss.

The Grizzlies have failed to cover the past 4 games overall and are 1-5 ATS in the past 6 against teams with a losing overall record. Memphis is also just 8-17 ATS in the past 25 games on the road.

Over/Under

OVER 242.5 (-115) is the lean, but play a half-unit at best.

It’s all about the Over for the Warriors lately, going 5-1-1 in the past 7 games overall, 4-0 in their past 4 following games a straight-up loss and 8-2 in their past 10 after a non-cover, too.

The Over is 8-3 in the past 11 games for the Grizzlies while also cashing in 8 of the past 11 outings when allowing the opposition to hit the century mark last time out.

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

The Memphis Grizzlies (31-15) and Sacramento Kings (26-19) meet Monday at Golden 1 Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Kings odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies failed to cover the spread as 8.5-point favorites Sunday in a 112-110 loss at the Phoenix Suns. G Ja Morant scored a game-high 27 points as Memphis lost back-to-back games after winning 11 straight. The Grizzlies are 4-0 against the spread (ATS) vs. the Kings in the last 4 meetings in Sacramento.

The Kings failed to cover as 5.5-point home favorites Saturday in a 129-127 loss vs. the Philadelphia 76ers. G De’Aaron Fox finished with a team-high 31 points as Sacramento’s 6-game win streak came to an end. The Kings are 0-6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. teams with a winning record.

Grizzlies at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 130, Kings 120

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies (-120) should win, but there is no need to pay the extra juice on the moneyline when Memphis should win by margin. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -1.5 (-105).

Despite losing 2 straight, Memphis is still one of the best teams in the league and has played well in Sacramento recently. The Grizzlies should come out prepared vs. the Kings after underestimating the Suns Sunday and losing a very winnable game. Memphis is 4-2 ATS on the 2nd night of a back-to-back and should be able to get a statement win vs. a Kings team that may start regressing toward the mean. Lay the points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 246.5 (-105).

This is a high number, but both teams are top 5 in points per game this season and have been hitting the Over on similar totals. The Over is 8-2 in Memphis’ last 10 games and 2 of the totals that went Over were set at 240 points or higher. These teams tend to play high-scoring games vs. each other in Sacramento, with the Over hitting in 5 of the last 6 meetings, and Monday’s matchup should be another offensive showcase.

Memphis Grizzlies at Phoenix Suns odds, picks and predictions

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

The Memphis Grizzlies (31-14) visit the Phoenix Suns (23-24) Sunday. Tip-off from Footprint Center is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Suns odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies are coming off a heartbreaking 122-121 loss on Friday vs. the Los Angeles Lakers (+6) which ended a season-long 11-game win streak. A big part of that loss was the Grizzlies’ 2nd-half collapse defensively, as they allowed 73 points, and 41 in the 4th quarter alone.

The Suns are coming off a Saturday night 112-107 win vs. the Indiana Pacers as 2.5-point road favorites. The Suns, despite being shorthanded due to injury, have won 2 straight after losing 3 in a row.

This is the 4th and final meeting of the regular season between the teams, with the Grizzlies winning twice (by 25 and 30 points) and the Suns once (by 17).

Grizzlies at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 122, Suns 111

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Grizzlies should win this game as they have the edge in nearly every major statistical category besides FT%. Despite being the away team, the Grizzlies are heavily favored. This is due to the amount of injuries the Suns have and the Grizzlies being among the best teams in the Western Conference right now. Expect the Grizzlies to win, but the moneyline here is too rich to bet on.

Against the spread

LEAN GRIZZLIES -9.5 (-105).

Trends in both the recent games between these teams and individual games suggest that the Grizzlies covering the spread should be the slightly safer bet. The Suns are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games playing on no rest, and the Grizzlies are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games vs. the Suns. The Grizzlies, however, are also 1-4 ATS in their last 5 against teams with losing records.

Over/Under

BET OVER 232.5 (-110).

The Over is 8-1 in the Grizzlies last 9 overall and is 4-1 in the Suns last 5 overall. Despite the Suns being shorthanded, their lack of defense and surprisingly solid offense has been enough to carry the Over, and expect that to continue in this game.

Grizzlies at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 126, Lakers 123

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies (-230) have won 11 straight but needed a game-winning tip from C Steven Adams to edge the Cavaliers. Memphis may be due for a letdown after pulling out such a close win. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET LAKERS +6.5 (-118).

Los Angeles needs to bounce back after blowing a double-digit lead vs. a division rival Wednesday. The Lakers have lost 4 of 5 but are 3rd in offensive efficiency over the last 3 games. Look for Los Angeles to tighten up defensively after its most recent loss and to continue scoring at will. Take the points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 243.5 (-112).

The Over is 8-0 in Memphis’ last 8 games and 10-2 in Los Angeles’ last 12 after failing to cover in its previous contest. The Over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings between these 2 teams in Los Angeles and should hit once again Friday in another high-scoring matchup.

Cavaliers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 113, Cavaliers 101

Moneyline

The Grizzlies (-280) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return, and that’s too expensive, even for a red-hot team on a 10-game winning streak.

PASS.

Against the spread

The GRIZZLIES -6.5 (-120) have cashed in 7 of the team’s 10 games during the win streak. This play comes with a little risk, going 1-3 ATS in the last 4 games at home.

The Cavaliers are 3-4 ATS in their last 7 road games.

Over/Under

UNDER 223.5 (-105) is the lean, but play a half-unit at best.

For the Cavs, the Under has hit in the last 2 outings, while going 5-4 in the last 9 outings overall. The Under has split 3-3 in the previous 6 on the road, too.

The real reason to play the Under, though, is due to the health status for Mitchell. “Spida” leads the team in scoring, but his groin injury has him listed as doubtful, and that’s bad news for the prospects of a Cleveland cover, and for the prospects of any offense for the Cavs.

Suns at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 122, Suns 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Suns without their 2 best players are not worth a play, even at (+410).

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -10.5 (-110).

The Suns without Paul and Booker on the road against 1 of the best teams in the West is not a recipe for success. The Suns have lost 8 of their last 9 games and have lost 4 of those by double figures.

Against Morant and the Griz at home, this should be a blowout. The Grizzlies rank 6th in points per game (117.1) and 1st in opponents’ FG percentage (44.3%). They have the talent on both sides of the court to wear down a short-handed Suns side.

Back GRIZZLIES -10.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 228.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies have gone Over in 6 straight games and have scored at least 120 points in 6 straight, having 130 or more points in 3 of their last 6. They rank 4th in pace and are at home, so they will undoubtedly want this to be a high-tempo game.

The Suns have gone Over in 2 of their last 3 as well. Expect the Griz to push the pace, and the Suns, who have scored at least 115 in 2 of their last 3, should keep up.

Back the OVER 228.5 (-110).
