The Grizzlies are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 Saturday games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Jazz are 15-2 ATS in their last 17 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest. The under is 11-4 in Grizzlies last 15 overall. The under is 4-1 in Jazz last 5 overall. The Grizzlies are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Utah.
As I mentioned in yesterdays write up, the Utah Jazz have cooled off in terms of covering these numbers at a ridiculous rate, and they didn't cover last nights game either. The Memphis Grizzlies took the Jazz down to the wire last night despite being 10-point underdogs, and they've played some of their best ball this season on the road. The Grizzlies win on the road by an average of 4.7 points. This is too many points to turn down yet again. Give me the Grizzlies.
Randy’s Pick Memphis Grizzlies +9.5
