Hornets vs Grizzlies Prediction

I’m not thrilled to lay double-digit chalk with a Grizzlies team that’s underachieved for much of the season and is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. However, the Grizzlies are in the thick of the West, and it’s important they win games if they’re going to get a top-six seed. The Grizzlies are one of six teams in the West that could finish anywhere between the third seed and the play-in tournament. The Hornets threw in the towel months ago and don’t have the bodies to cover even these big lines. This game shouldn’t be close. Give me the Grizzlies in a blowout.
