Grizzlies at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 119, Pacers 116

Moneyline

The Grizzlies (-400) will cost you 4 times your potential return, and that’s risky business for a road team.

While Memphis is red-hot lately, this could still be a very close game.

PASS.

Against the spread

The PACERS +8.5 (-115) are a solid 7-2 ATS across the past 8 games overall, while going 6-1 ATS in the past 7 outings at home. Indiana is a respectable 4-1 ATS in the past 5 games against winning teams, too.

The Grizzlies -7.5 (-108) have won 8 consecutive games, but Memphis has failed to cover the past 3 outings overall. It is also 2-8 ATS in the past 10 games on the road against teams with a winning overall home record.

Over/Under

OVER 234.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit at the most.

The Over is 5-0 in the past 5 games overall for the Grizzlies, while going 4-0 in the past 4 games against teams with a winning overall record.

The Over is also 6-3 in the previous 9 outings for the Pacers, while going 6-2 in the past 8 when playing with no rest.

The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 meetings in Indianapolis, while cashing at a 6-1 clip in the past 7 meetings overall.

Spurs at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 125, Spurs 118

Moneyline

The Grizzlies (-1100) will cost you 11 times your potential return, and that’s quite expensive. There is also a little concern backing Memphis with Morant listed as questionable due to his thigh injury.

PASS.

Against the spread

The SPURS +13.5 (-108) might not be winning a lot of games lately, but they have been covering plenty of games. While the Spurs are just 5-11 ATS in the last 16 on the road, they covered the front end of this set. They’re also 6-1 ATS in the last 7 games against winning teams, while going 6-1 ATS in the last 7 when working on a day of rest, too.

Memphis has been playing down to its competition, going just 1-3-1 ATS in the last 5 at home against teams with a road winning percentage of under .400, including Monday’s non-cover against San Antonio.

Over/Under

OVER 237.5 (-110) is the best play on the board.

The Over is perfect in the last 9 games on the road for San Antonio, while going 16-5 in the last 21 games overall. The Over is 10-4 in the last 14 tries against teams with an overall winning mark, too.

For the Grizzlies, the Over has hit in 4 in a row, and 5 of the last 7 games at the FedEx Forum. The Over is also 4-0 in the last 4 games when their opponent scores 100 or more points in the previous outing.

Spurs at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 120, Spurs 107

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies had to go to overtime to escape San Antonio with a 124-122 win in their last meeting Nov. 9. The Grizzlies (-600) should win Monday, but there is no need to risk 6 times your potential profit on the ML in this divisional matchup. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -11.5 (-110).

Even if Morant sits out again with thigh soreness, the Grizzlies should be able to win by margin Monday vs. a bottom-3 team in the Spurs. F Keldon Johnson could potentially return for San Antonio, but shouldn’t be too effective coming off a hamstring injury. The Grizzlies are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 head-to-head meetings and should have a better showing at home than their overtime win at San Antonio Nov. 9. Lay the points.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 237.5 (-108).

This is too many points for this divisional matchup. These teams tend to play low-scoring games against each other and the Under is 5-1 in their last 6 meetings. Look for the Spurs’ bottom-10 offense to regress toward the mean after putting up an average of 117 points over their last 3 games.

Utah Jazz at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

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

The Utah Jazz (20-22) visit the Memphis Grizzlies (25-13) Sunday. Tip-off from FedEx Forum is set for 6 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Jazz vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Jazz are coming off a 126-118 loss Saturday vs. the Chicago Bulls as 2.5-point road favorites, their 6th loss in their last 7 games. Poor 3-point shooting cost the Jazz as they shot 29% (12 of 41). In the last 7 games, the Jazz have allowed 126 points to be scored on them 4 times.

The Grizzlies are on a 5-game winning streak that included covering a 6.5-point spread Thursday against the Orlando Magic (123-115). G Ja Morant scored 32 points on 13-of-21 shooting from the floor.

The Jazz beat the Grizzlies in back-to-back games in Utah in late October.

Jazz at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 126, Jazz 120

Moneyline

AVOID.

While the Grizzlies are the better and hotter team this bet has far too much risk associated with it. The line is a bit too lopsided and the risk is not worth the reward here.

Against the spread

LEAN JAZZ +7.5 (-112).

The Grizzlies are 5-0 ATS during the 5-game winning streak, but the Jazz are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 against teams with above a .600 winning percentage and the Jazz are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings. The Jazz will make this a very tough game for the Grizzlies to keep their ATS streak going.

Over/Under

BET OVER 234.5 (-108).

The Over is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings between these 2 teams and the betting trends for the Jazz also suggest that the Over is the safer bet for this matchup. The Over is 4-1 in Utah’s last 5 overall and is 8-1 in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning record.

Grizzlies at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 129, Magic 110

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies (-270) should come out on top, but there is no need to risk almost 3 times your potential profit on the ML when Memphis should win by margin. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -7.5 (-102).

The Grizzlies have looked great lately, winning their last 4 games by an average of 15.5 points. The Magic are coming off a good win vs. the Thunder, but Oklahoma City was due for a letdown after winning straight up as an 11.5-point home underdog 150-117 vs. the Boston Celtics Tuesday. Don’t overreact to Orlando’s win over Oklahoma City. Lay the points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 231.5 (-110).

The Over is 4-0 in Orlando’s last 4 games after covering in its previous game and 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between these teams in Orlando. Memphis is averaging 121 points in its last 4 games and should help the Over hit vs. a Magic team that is 27th in defensive efficiency when playing at home.

Grizzlies at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 118, Hornets 106

Moneyline

The Grizzlies (-290) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return, and that’s quite expensive, especially as a road favorite.

Memphis will be hard on the Hornets (+240), especially since the Grizzlies are the top rebounding team in the NBA (49.0 RPG), while holding the opposition to a 44.3% field-goal percentage.

This has the potential for a blowout if things break right, but look to the spread instead.

PASS.

Against the spread

GRIZZLIES -7.5 (-108) are a strong play on the road.

The Grizzlies are 10-4-1 ATS in the last 15 games overall, and Memphis has been stacking covers, too. The Grizz are 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 games following a cover, while going 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 games following a straight-up win.

On the flip side, the Hornets +7.5 (-112) are 1-3-1 ATS in the last 5 games overall, while going 1-5 ATS in the last 6 in Buzz City.

Over/Under

UNDER 234.5 (-110) is the slight lean, and it might be the best play on the board.

The Under has hit in 7 of the last 8 games overall for the Grizzlies, while going 5-0 in the last 5 on the road. The Under is also 5-0 in the last 5 games for the Hornets, while hitting at a 19-7-1 clip in the last 27 home games.

The Kings are 0-4 against the spread (ATS) in their last 4 games.

Kings at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 116, Kings 115

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies (-180) should win at home, but their ML is too expensive considering Memphis is on a back-to-back and the Kings have pulled off 2 consecutive last-minute wins. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET KINGS +4.5 (-110).

According to reports, Memphis’ 2nd-leading scorer G Desmond Bane may not play Sunday. No Bane combined with Sacramento’s improved play in its last 2 games would create a tough situation for Memphis to win by margin. Sacramento did not cover as a favorite in its last 2 games, but did pull out late wins and enters this game as an underdog. Take the points.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 238.5 (-110).

The Under is 6-1 in the Grizzlies’ last 7 games and 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these 2 teams in Memphis. The Over is 2-0 in the Kings’ last 2 games, but Sacramento should have a tougher time scoring vs. the Grizzlies who are 3rd in defensive efficiency over the last 3 games.

New Orleans Pelicans at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s New Orleans Pelicans at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New Orleans Pelicans (23-12) visit the Memphis Grizzlies (21-13) Saturday in a battle of the 1st and 3rd seed in the Western Coference. Tip-off from FedExForum is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Pelicans vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

McCollum scored 42 points, including 11 threes, and secured that win for the Pelicans despite 76ers C Joel Embiid putting up 37 points. New Orleans is 1st in the Western Conference despite playing without F Brandon Ingram.

The Grizzlies are coming off a 119-106 victory at the Toronto Raptors Thursday. That win ended a 2-game skid that started after star G Ja Morant said he was “fine in the west”. After dropping back-to-back games vs. western conference teams Morant popped off for a career-high 17 assists to help his team secure the win vs. the Raptors.

Pelicans at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 121, Grizzlies 119

Moneyline

LEAN PELICANS (+200).

The Pelicans being heavy underdogs is baffling to me, they are the hotter team and the season series is tied 1-1. I assume the line has to do with possible fatigue that could be setting in for the Pelicans due to playing a back-to-back set and the fact that they are the away team. This will be your riskiest bet for this game, but I believe the PELICANS (+200) can get it done.

Against the spread

BET PELICANS +5.5 (-102).

The Pelicans should cover this number whether they win or lose. These teams are very evenly matched and are both young squads that are hot right now. With both teams near the top of a very loaded Western Conference, this should be a great game that will come down to the wire.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 234.5 (-112).

Both of these teams have top 10 offenses in the NBA and are almost fully healthy. The Over should be pretty safe here and expect the big names in the matchup to show up and show out. This should be a close game that features a lot of scoring and not a ton of defense, which basketball purists might hate but will be great for this bet.

Grizzlies at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 119, Raptors 116

Moneyline

BET GRIZZLIES (-145).

The Grizzlies’ starters and key rotation players are all healthy and should be able to bounce back after 2 straight losses. VanVleet is questionable and while the Raptors are a respectable 3-3 without their starting PG in the lineup, those wins have come against losing teams in the Atlanta Hawks, San Antonio Spurs and Detroit Pistons. Even if a hobbled VanVleet is cleared to play, the Grizzlies will win.

Against the spread

PASS.

This spread is right where it should be hovering between 2.5 and 3. The ML and total are safer bets.

Over/Under

BET OVER 228.5 (-110).

The Over is 6-1 in the Raptors’ last 7 games and 5-0 in the Raptors’ last 5 at home. Toronto has been playing disappointing defense at Scotiabank Arena lately and hasn’t held a team under 113 points in its last 6 home games. Memphis should have no problem scoring and helping the Over hit.

Suns at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 119, Suns 110

Moneyline

The Grizzlies are healthy while the Suns are missing Booker and Shamet, whose 31 points in their loss to the Nuggets kept them in the game.

This isn’t a hard decision, but a moneyline wager on the Grizzlies isn’t worth the action.

The Suns are 7-8 ATS on the road this season but are 2-3 ATS in their last 5 games on the road. The Grizzlies are 11-3-1 ATS at home.

The Grizzlies have won the last 3 matchups with the Suns and have won each of those games by at least 8 points.

BET GRIZZLIES -7.5 (-112).

Over/Under

Each of the last 3 meetings between the Suns and Grizzlies have had 225 or more points while 4 of the Suns’ last 5 games have had more than 224 points and 4 of the Grizzlies’ last 6 games have topped 225 points.

BET OVER 224.5 (-115).
