Memphis Grizzlies vs Toronto Raptors prediction

I’m not running to the window to lay chalk with the Toronto Raptors in their form, but this is a game they should win comfortably at home. The Memphis Grizzlies are coming off a bad week when the offense has no life and half their roster is out with injuries. The Grizzlies are down Smart, Morant, Bane and could be without Tillman as well. The Toronto Raptors are pretty much at full strength, and they beat the Grizzlies by 15 points on the road a few weeks ago. At home, this game should be no different. I have no choice but to lay the points with the dinosaurs.
