Wizards at Grizzlies: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Grizzlies 120, Wizards 115
Money line (ML)
The two teams played before the All-Star Break in Washington and the Grizzlies picked up a 125-11 win as Ja Morant led all scorers with 35 points and two others scored 20 or more for Memphis.
However, Memphis has struggled at home, going 7-11 at home. They are, though, 5-4 as home favorites. Take the GRIZZLIES (-155).

Against the spread (ATS)
Both Washington and Memphis cover more often than they don't. Memphis is 18-14 ATS this season while the Wizards are 18-16 ATS. Memphis is 9-9 ATS at home while Washington is 10-7 ATS on the road.
The Grizzlies are 5-4 ATS as home favorites and Washington is 9-6 ATS as road dogs. However, expecting a Memphis win and with a line of only 3.5 points, the smart pick is GRIZZLIES -3.5 (-105).
Over/Under (O/U)
The two teams combined for 236 points last week when they played, but their season scoring averages combine for only 226.4 points per game and they combine to allow an average of 229.9 points per game. It will be close but take UNDER 236.5 (-105).
