Raptors at Grizzlies picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 111, Raptors 110
Moneyline
PASS.
The Grizzlies (-180) should win, but they are a little overvalued on the moneyline considering Memphis is just 1-5 in its last 6 games without C Steven Adams. Bet the spread or total instead.
Against the spread
BET RAPTORS +4.5 (-110).
The Grizzlies have struggled without Adams in the lineup this year and were outscored 64-44 in the paint at the Cavaliers. The Raptors are profitable this season as road underdogs (10-8 ATS, 55.6%) and showed signs of improvement at the Rockets before getting backdoored on the cover with less than 15 seconds remaining. Look for the Raptors to come out extra focused Sunday as Toronto wraps up its 7-game road trip at Memphis. Take the points.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 230.5 (-110).
The Under is 5-1 in Toronto’s last 6 games vs. teams with a winning percentage above .600 and 7-1 in Memphis’ last 8 overall. The Under has hit in 34 of the last 45 meetings and Sunday should be another low-scoring matchup as both teams tighten up defensively in hopes of not dropping a 3rd game in their last 4.
