Memphis Grizzlies vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

The Chicago Bulls are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, and they looked good defensively in their preseason opener. However, I still see value in getting points with the Grizzlies in preseason games because of the NBA playing experience up and down the roster. In a preseason game where so many guys see playing time, there’s value to getting points with a team that has a bunch of guys who have seen real NBA minutes. I’ll take the couple of buckets with the Grizzlies.
