Memphis Grizzlies vs Chicago Bulls prediction
Outside of a win over the Warriors, the Memphis Grizzlies have had issues finding offense this week, and they're not going to get any better with all of their injuries. The Chicago Bulls continue to run into wins, and 13 of their 20 victories this season have come at home. The Bulls should be able to win this game comfortably at home given the Grizzlies injury situation. I'll lay the points with the Bulls if forced to pick.
