Raptors vs Grizzlies Prediction 11/9/26 NBA Picks Today

Raptors vs Grizzlies Prediction

The young Grizzlies have come back to earth with three straight losses and failed covers. The Grizzlies started the season 6-0 SU and ATS. The Raptors are going to get the benefit of the doubt at home, as oddsmakers didn’t believe in the Grizzlies to begin with. Despite the wins and covers, the Grizzlies have been underdogs in 18 of their last 20 games when you include tonight’s action. 

However, the Raptors are still without Kawhi and could be without Barnes as well, as he’s dealing with a groin issue. Watch the injury report before betting, but I’m not laying points if the Raptors are down their top two players. Also, the Grizzlies are still undefeated on the road, and they’re still a quality team on both sides of the ball. I’m going to grab the buckets with the Grizzlies, especially if Barnes isn’t able to play.
