Washington Wizards vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
The Grizzlies injury report continues to be ridiculous, as it’s always lengthy and there’s always guys coming in and out. Still, the Grizzlies are 7-3 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. If this continues, Tuomas Iisalo deserves some coach of the year votes. The Wizards remain terrible, and they’re 8-17 ATS on the season. I know these massive lines can be appealing, but the Wizards aren’t covering them. The Wizards are 7-11 ATS in their last 18 games as a double-digit underdog. Thick line for a team so banged up, but the Grizzlies are making us money, the Wizards aren’t. Give me the Grizzlies.
