Jazz at Grizzlies picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 126, Jazz 120
Moneyline
AVOID.
While the Grizzlies are the better and hotter team this bet has far too much risk associated with it. The line is a bit too lopsided and the risk is not worth the reward here.
Against the spread
LEAN JAZZ +7.5 (-112).
The Grizzlies are 5-0 ATS during the 5-game winning streak, but the Jazz are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 against teams with above a .600 winning percentage and the Jazz are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings. The Jazz will make this a very tough game for the Grizzlies to keep their ATS streak going.
Over/Under
BET OVER 234.5 (-108).
The Over is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings between these 2 teams and the betting trends for the Jazz also suggest that the Over is the safer bet for this matchup. The Over is 4-1 in Utah’s last 5 overall and is 8-1 in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning record.
