Grizzlies at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 108, Grizzlies 102

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Clippers (-270) should win this game with ease as the Grizzlies are without Morant, but this is a bad bet. I am not a fan of betting such a heavy favorite, and I would avoid placing a moneyline bet here.

Against the spread

LEAN GRIZZLIES +6.5 (+100).

Both teams have been poor ATS as of late and on the season, but Memphis is the safer bet to cover. Memphis is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 road games, and LA is 1-6 in its last 7 playing on 1 day of rest. Memphis is also 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings between these teams, which is why it is the safer lean.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 227.5 (-110).

The Under is 10-1 in Memphis last 11 games following an ATS loss and 8-1 in their last 9 playing on 1 day of rest. The Under is also 12-3 in the Clippers' last 15 home games vs. teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400.
