Randy’s Pick

The Utah Jazz aren’t a good basketball team and Lauri Markkanen is still out, which doesn’t help. However, in what world are we going to lay chalk with the Grizzlies? The Memphis Grizzlies are not only piling up the losses, but they’re 5-11 ATS on the season. The Grizzlies have lost 4 straight, and they failed to cover 3 of those games. I’m not laying chalk with the Grizzlies until they get healthy and show they can play well. Give me the Jazz and the free buckets.
