Washington Wizards vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction
The Washington Wizards are getting the benefit of the doubt because they just beat the Hornets and Heat. Sorry, I’m not buying it and certainly not laying points with the Wizards on the road. A week ago, the Grizzlies beat the Nets and 76ers on the road, so let’s not overreact to a couple of wins. Both the Wizards and Grizzlies are god awful and not teams I’m backing as favorites. The Grizzlies are at home, and they play hard, despite what the results would suggest. I want points if getting involved with either side. So, Grizzlies it is.
