Los Angeles Clippers vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction
The Los Angeles Clippers remain one of the hottest teams in the league and they’ve been covering numbers with these wins, which improves them to 19-18 ATS on the year. The Memphis Grizzlies have been able to find wins this week, but with Smart and Morant back on the injury list, I expect them to take a step backwards once again. We’ve seen the Grizzlies without Morant for much of the season, and it hasn’t been pretty. The LA Clippers beat the Grizzlies by 11 points at the end of December. Thick line for a road team, but the Clippers have earned our trust over the last month. I’ll lay the points with the Clips.
