Trends

Memphis is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games and 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games. The over is 7-1 in Memphis’ last 8 road games. Cincinnati is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games. The under is 5-1 in Cincinnati’s last 6 games. The road team is 3-0-1 ATS in these two teams last 4 head to head meetings.

Pick

Cincinnati comes into this game after winning four of their last five games, while Memphis has won three of their last four games. Memphis is scoring 79.1 points per game, but they haven’t played very good defense this year. Cincinnati is the better defensive team and they are averaging more rebounds per game than the Tigers. I think this game could go either way, but I am going to take Cincinnati at home. Memphis has had some issues in their last three road games and I think that will continue here.

David’s Pick Cincinnati -2.5
