Los Angeles Clippers vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction
The Los Angeles Clippers are the better team, obviously, and have the horses to blow the doors off, but they’re also on the end of a back to back and have failed to cover 4 of their last 5 games. Just how motivated are the Clippers to lay the wood here after playing last night and playing the Kings on Sunday? The Grizzlies have also been competitive despite their roster challenges, and they’ve covered each of their last 3 games. I’ll take a stab with the home dog.
