Chicago Bulls vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction

Both the Bulls and Grizzlies have a ton of players on their injury list, so you should check the reports before locking in a bet. With that said, the Chicago Bulls can't be trusted in the favorite role because they've lost a lot in spots like this, which includes a recent loss to the Raptors as 6.5 point favorites at home. The Memphis Grizzlies are throwing out a G League roster these days due to, so many banged up bodies, but they've still managed to cover 6 of their last 9 games. I'll take my chances with the Grizzlies and the points.
