NY Knicks vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

The NY Knicks are banged up and they’re 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The Knicks have also had a hard time beating good teams this season and I doubt that changes on the road. The Grizzlies are not only 35-22-1 ATS on the season but they’re 22-6 SU at home. I’m also sure the Grizzlies didn’t forget the Knicks beatdown of 143-106 a month ago. This Grizzlies squad plays with a chip on its shoulder and it will want its revenge. I’ll lay the points with the Grizzlies at home.
