Kings at Grizzlies picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 120, Kings 115
Moneyline
PASS.
While one could argue for the moneyline on both sides, given the way this game is expected to go, the spread is the better play for the home side. Look there for a solid wager.
Against the spread
BET GRIZZLIES -3.5 (-105).
The Grizzlies have been on fire, and they have been even better at home. Over their last 5 home games, they have gone 4-1 ATS and 5-0 SU. They are 3-0 ATS as single-digit favorites.
The Kings have been the opposite of on fire. In their last 4 road games, they are 1-3 SU/ATS. The 3 losses were to the LA Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers and San Antonio Spurs, who are all underdogs to make the playoffs at BetMGM Sportsbook.
Considering those trends, back GRIZZLIES -3.5 (-105).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 241.5 (-110).
This total is just too lofty to take. The Kings are 2-3 O/U this season in games with a total of 235 or more points. They are 4-4 O/U in their last 8 games, allowing 115 or fewer points in 6 of the 8.
The Grizzlies are 2-3 O/U in their last 5 and have allowed 111 or fewer in 5 of their last 9. Considering those trends and this high total, back UNDER 241.5 (-110).
