Brooklyn Nets vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
The Memphis Grizzlies should be favored at home, especially against a Nets team that lacks talent and is set on building for the future with all of their draft picks. However, both the Nets and Grizzlies are dealing with oodles of injuries, and it makes it hard to get involved with this much chalk. The Grizzlies are already missing rotation players, but there's a chance Edey and Morant don't play as well. Regardless, double-digit chalk this early in the season is too rich. It's the Nets or pass for me.
