Raptors vs Grizzlies Prediction
The Memphis Grizzlies are a hard team to bet against because they continue to win regardless of the lineup, and they’re 33-17 ATS on the season. The Grizzlies also have the rest advantage in this spot. However, the Raptors continue to play their best ball now that they’re healthy, and that includes covers in nine of their last 11 games. The Raptors also gave the Knicks a scare last night while covering that game as well. I’ve been backing the Raptors a lot during this stretch, and that’s not going to stop here. The Raptors are showing they’re a decent team when they have all of their players in the mix. Give me the points with the dinosaurs at home.
