The Knicks will be without Pacome Dadiet, Kevin McCullar Jr., and Michael Robinson. Josh Hart and Ariel Hukporti are questionable.

Knicks vs Grizzlies Prediction

I get it the Knicks are at home, and they’ve won three straight games, but this line is surprising. The Grizzlies just keep winning and covering numbers, which includes being 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. The Grizzlies are 31-15 ATS on the season which gives them a cover percentage of 67.3 percent which is second best in the NBA behind only the Thunder. The Grizzlies are more than capable of winning this game outright. Unless there’s a secret Ja Morant injury that’s not showing up on the injury report, this line is showing the Knicks too much respect. Give me the Grizzlies and the points.
