Wizards at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 116, Wizards 111

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no real value here. The Grizzlies (-250) are down far too many key weapons for them to be this size of a favorite. Avoid their moneyline play. Similarly, the Wizards (+200) haven’t proven they can defend and aren’t worth a play to pull off the upset.

Against the spread

BET WIZARDS +6.5 (-105).

The Wizards have their top 3 scoring weapons playing in this game, and have scored at least 112 points in 4 of their last 5 games. They are 2-2 ATS in those wins and 1-0 ATS on the road, having taken down the Atlanta Hawks 121-119 in their lone true away match on Oct. 28.

The Grizzlies will be missing 2 of their top 3 scorers, and with Morant really being the offensive driver, his absence will be paramount. Memphis is 0-2 ATS as a favorite of 5 points or greater. With that in mind, back WIZARDS +6.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 231.5 (-110).

The pace of this game isn’t easy to predict as the absence of Morant should weaken the Grizzlies offense, and with F Jaren Jackson Jr. in the paint, Memphis should be able to limit what Washington can get on offense.

The Grizzlies are 2-3 O/U in their last 5 games, allowing 107 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4. The Wizards have scored 112 or fewer points in 2 straight games and are 1-1 O/U in those.

Considering those trends and the lack of firepower available for Memphis, take UNDER 231.5 (-110).

Prediction

Wizards 107, Grizzlies 101

Moneyline

PASS.

There is more value on the Wizards (-135) spread.

Against the spread

BET WIZARDS -2.5 (-105).

The Wizards have won and covered in back-to-back games including a massive road win on Sunday over the Heat. They face a Memphis team that is devastated with injuries and just 7-25 at home this season. Memphis has lost and failed to cover in back-to-back games including a 31-point blowout on Sunday. With no usual starters, the Grizzlies offense has stalled scoring 93 points or fewer in each of their last 2 games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 220.5 (-115).

Washington has hit the Under in 4 of its last 8 games. It has scored 112 or fewer points in 3 straight and 6 of its last 9 while holding opponents to 108 or fewer points in back-to-back games. Memphis has scored 101 points or less in 7 of its last 9 and has failed to hit the Over in 6 of its last 10 including back-to-back games.

Wizards at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 118, Wizards 104

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s just not much value here either way.

Against the spread

BET MEMPHIS -9.5 (-112).

While it might seem like a lot of points calling almost a double-digit victory, Memphis will be at home with the Wizards down their best player. Three of the Grizzlies’ 5 wins have been by double figures.

They are also the best offensive rebounding team in the league. Where Washington can’t keep up is just straight-up efficient with the Grizzlies 10th in effective field goal rate and the Wizards 21st.

Memphis is 2-1 ATS as a home favorite, and with a similar roster, it was 20-13 ATS as home favorite last season. Back the Grizzlies to come out by double figures

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 225.5 (-110).

Simply put, I don’t know where the Wizards scoring will come from. While F Kyle Kuzma and C Kristaps Porzingis are solid options, neither have the firepower that Beal does.

While Memphis does crash the glass, Washington sits 4th in defensive rebounding, so it should be able tame the Grizzlies’ 2nd-chance opportunities.

Neither team sits top 10 in pace either with the Wizards 27th. Back fewer points being scored as the inefficient Wizards should struggle against Memphis.

Washington Wizards at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Washington Wizards at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies (34-17) host the Washington Wizards (23-25) Saturday at FedExForum for an 8 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we look at the Wizards vs. Grizzlies odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Washington has lost five of its last six games (1-5 against the spread) including four straight with the latest being a heartbreaking 116-115 loss at home to the Los Angeles Clippers Tuesday. The Wizards had a 30-point lead at halftime before an epic collapse to the Clippers.

Memphis has won back-to-back games at the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday and at home against the Utah Jazz Friday. The Grizzlies are 4-2 straight-up (SU) and ATS over the last two weeks with their two losses coming on the road at the Milwaukee Bucks and Dallas Mavericks.

The Wizards beat the brakes off the Grizzlies 115-87 as 3-point favorites in their first meeting this season Nov. 5. Washington’s domination was due to it outshooting Memphis from the field 58.3-35.4% (40.0-19.4% from behind the arc) but the Grizzlies won three of the “four factors”.

Wizards at Grizzlies odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 117, Wizards 107

Money line

PASS because I think Memphis gets revenge on Washington for earlier this season but the Grizzlies (-220) is a little out of my price range.

Against the spread

BET the GRIZZLIES -5.5 (-107) for 1 unit because Memphis has been profitable at this price this season while the opposite is true for the Wizards.

Memphis is 4-1 ATS when laying between 5-7 points and Washington is 1-5-1 ATS when being spotted 5-7 points.

The Grizzlies have also performed very well against teams in the bottom 10 of efficiency differential, which Washington is, and when played with a rest disadvantage.

The Grizzlies are 14-6 SU versus bottom-10 teams with the fourth-best adjusted net rating (plus-11.7) and the second-best ATS margin (plus-7.6), according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG). Plus the Grizzlies are an NBA-best 8-4 ATS when playing with a rest disadvantage.

Memphis has covered six of its past seven home games, seven of its past eight games as a favorite and five straight versus teams with a losing record.

Finally, Washington is an NBA-worst 7-15-1 ATS on the road with a minus-2.3 ATS margin.

BET the GRIZZLIES -5.5 (-107) for 1 unit.

Over/Under

BET the UNDER 229.5 (-108) for 1 unit because Memphis plays more to the Under in this situation, Washington does a good job defending what the Grizzlies do often and I think the public will be all over this Over.

Memphis likes to push the pace, attack the basket and crash the glass. However, the Wizards allow the fewest fastbreak points per game (PPG) and rank 12th in second-chance PPG allowed.

Lastly, the Grizzlies are 5-6-1 O/U when playing with a rest disadvantage (minus-4.1 total margin) and 3-5-1 O/U on zero rest days (minus-5.5 total margin).
