Knicks vs Grizzlies Prediction
Another double-digit line, but I have to lean toward the Knicks. The Knicks are 4-0 SU and ATS in their last 4 games. The Grizzlies aren’t winning and aren’t covering numbers, as they’re 3-8 ATS on the season. The Grizzlies are also still dealing with Morant drama, which can’t be great for the locker room.
It’s bad vibes in Memphis right now. The Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a double-digit underdog. The Knicks have covered 5 straight games as a double-digit favorite. I’ll lay the points with the Knicks.
