Cleveland Cavaliers vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
The Cavaliers are going to be big favorites, as they’re obviously the more talented, healthier team. However, we’ve been fading the Cavs all season and while they’re winning, they’re also 30-47-1 ATS on the season. The Cavs are the worst team ATS on the season. This has nothing to do with the Grizzlies. It has everything to do with the Cavs not covering numbers. At the end of a back-to-back, I’ll grab the points with the Grizzlies.
