Grizzlies at Bulls picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 109, Bulls 104
Moneyline
PASS.
The spread presents better value for a play on Memphis than the moneyline.
Against the spread
LEAN GRIZZLIES -2.5 (-105).
The Grizzlies have been playing well recently going 8-2 in their last 10 games and covering in 3 of their last 5. They rank top 10 in defensive scoring at 112.5 points per game (PPG) and 1st in opponent FG percentage (45.1%) while the Bulls offense ranks just 19th in scoring offense (113.4 ppg). Expect the Grizzlies to take over on Sunday and prevent a Chicago comeback thanks in part to their defense.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 225.5 (-110).
The Under is 7-1-1 in the Grizzlies’ last 9 games following a ATS victory and 5-1-1 in their last 7 games following an outright win of 10 or more points. The Under is also 3-1 in their last 4 games.
The Bulls have an O/U record of 34-42-1 this season pointing toward their inability to score a lot of points while the Under is also 4-1-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a winning outright record.
