Memphis Grizzlies vs LA Clippers Prediction
The Clippers are playing their best ball of the season with wins in seven of their last eight games and it has a lot to do with health. It’s the complete opposite for the Grizzlies who are still without Ja and others, and it’s resulting in some bad results at the worst possible time. The Grizzlies have also failed to cover eight of their last 10 games. The Clippers have won seven of the last nine games against the Grizzlies and have covered five of those games. I’m not stepping in front of the Clippers right now and certainly not doing it for a struggling, banged-up Grizzlies squad. I like what I’m seeing from the Clippers. I’ll lay the points.
