Memphis Grizzlies vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

The Grizzlies are good enough to consider in the underdog role as they’ve been one of the best teams in the league. The problem is the Cavs are too consistent to bet against, especially at home where they’re 26-4 SU on the year. With a cover percentage of 66 percent, the Cavs are the second-best cover team in the NBA behind only the Thunder. If it’s not broken don’t fix it. Give me the Cavs and a reasonable number on Sunday.
