Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

The Jazz have cashed 12 tickets, so they’re not completely useless. I just don’t want to make a habit of backing them night to night. The Grizzlies have quietly won 7 of their last 9 games, and they’re 7-2 ATS in those games. The Grizzlies have an awful injury report, but there’s a chance Morant returns, as he’s questionable at the time of this writing and not out. Oddsmakers are telling you what they think of the Jazz with this line. The Grizzlies are cooking, as the kids say. I’ll lay the somewhat reasonable number.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Memphis -6.5
