Memphis Grizzlies vs Utah Jazz Prediction
There are better options out there on a stacked NBA card, as both the Grizzlies and Jazz are banged up and on the end of a back-to-back. With that said, the Grizzlies are in better form and continue to find ways to win games. The Grizzlies also put up a rare fight against OKC last night, which is a positive. The Jazz are back to not playing a lick of defense, and I doubt that changes on tired legs. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me the Grizzlies and the small chalk.
