Toronto Raptors vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction

The Toronto Raptors have the rest advantage and seem to be deeper with the additions of Barrett and Quickley. I get it. Still, this feels like too much respect. The Memphis Grizzlies are as healthy as they’ve been all year and while they played last night, they have a pep in their step with Morant. The Grizz also need to take advantage of spots like this to keep chipping away in the standings. Home games against average at home teams. I have to side with the Grizzlies in this near pick em spot.
