New York Knicks vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
On paper the Knicks should win this game comfortably, but as I said yesterday, they continue to find themselves in dogfights, and they’re an older team on the end of a back-to-back. Since February 10 the Knicks are 3-4 ATS as a double-digit favorite. The Knicks have lost 19 times on the road. The Grizzlies aren’t fielding a real NBA team these days but the guys who do play still play hard. This is a lot of points for a Knicks team that played last night. Give me the points.
