Prediction
Grizzlies 125, Pistons 108
Moneyline (ML)
The Grizzlies (-357) are a little more expensive than I like on the moneyline, even though they’re a solid play at home against a team which just played Sunday afternoon and had to travel. AVOID.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The GRIZZLIES (-7.5, -110) are the play on their home floor, as the Pistons (+7.5, -110) should have some tired legs after edging the Denver Nuggets in overtime back in Detroit Sunday afternoon before traveling. Look for Memphis to handle its business at home and bounce back after a disappointing loss last time out in New Orleans Friday.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 227.5 (-110) is worth a look due to a handful of factors. First, the Pistons traveled after going to overtime Sunday afternoon against the Nuggets. Their legs should be plenty tired, leading to some shaky defense. Plus, these teams may or may not have enjoyed some Super Bowl festivities on television, and don’t think that won’t play a factor in their energy level on defense, too.
