Grizzlies vs Nets Prediction
Even with all of their injuries, the Grizzlies are still the more talented team and should be favored. The Nets also have a lot of injuries themselves all of a sudden. Still, this is a lot of points to lay with a slumping and seriously banged up Grizzlies team. The Grizzlies are also 1-3 ATS and SU as a favorite of 5 or more points since December. The Nets have seen 6 of their 11 wins this season come on the road. This is a lot of points given the Grizzlies situation. I’ll take a shot with the free buckets on Sunday afternoon.
