Sacramento Kings vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
The Sacramento Kings continue to be one of the more disappointing teams in the NBA with losses in 7 of their last 10 games and I need to see some consistent results to look their way. The Memphis Grizzlies have dealt with injuries all year, and here they are with a solid 14-8 SU and ATS record. The Grizzlies have covered 7 of their last 10 games, and they’re 10-3 SU at home. There’s no stepping in front of the Grizzlies, especially for the Kings on the road. Reasonable line. Give me the Grizzlies to keep things rolling.
