Washington Wizards vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

The Memphis Grizzlies are still a banged-up team, but they’re scoring at will and a win over the Lakers could have a carry-over effect. The Wizards have been somewhat competitive through 6 games, but they’re still a team I don’t trust, and I’m not thrilled with their defensive effort. The line is reasonable, and it’s fair to say the Grizzlies are the better team. I’ll lay the small chalk with the Grizz at home.
