Nets vs Grizzlies Prediction

I’m not excited to back either of these teams that are clearly in tank mode. However, somebody has to win, and I have to lean toward the Nets at home. The Nets, at least, are coming off a massive comeback win over the Pistons, which should be a nice shot in the arm. The Grizzlies have a lengthy injury report and don’t seem to be interested in winning. There’s no way all of those players are injured. The Grizzlies are sitting, guys. At home, give me the Nets, but this is a giant bowl of yuck.
