Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

The Utah Jazz have had covering success with these massive lines, but it's hard to trust them most nights against good teams. The Memphis Grizzlies are on the end of a back-to-back, but they've been winning and covering numbers all year regardless of what the rotations look like. If anything, the Grizzlies could have a rest Morant after he didn't play last night. The Grizzlies are 18-5 SU at home and 30-15 ATS on the season. With a 66.6 percent cover percentage, the Grizzlies are the second-best cover team. The Jazz have an injury report with half their rotation on it. I'll lay the points with the Grizzlies.
