Grizzlies vs Hawks Prediction
The Memphis Grizzlies should be favored at home and should win this game, but they also should’ve beat the Spurs and Knicks before this. The Grizzlies have lost five of their last seven games and are dropping quickly in the standings. It’s too soon to hit the panic button, but there is some concern. The Grizzlies are also 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games. The Hawks have the rest advantage, and they’ve covered six of their last 10 games. Maybe the Grizzlies get right and win convincingly, but I just don’t like what I saw over the last week. Give me the Hawks and the points on Monday night.
