Grizzlies at Cavaliers picks and predictionsPrediction
Cavaliers 128, Grizzlies 114
The Grizzlies have only 1 away win this season and their last 3 away games have been double-digit losses. They have allowed over 130 points in 2 consecutive games.
The Cavs are 4-2 at Rocket Arena this season and have not lost consecutive home games. They have averaged 129.4 points per game over their last 7.
Cleveland should pick up the win, but the -600 odds do not offer enough value.
PASS.
The Grizzlies’ last 4 losses have been by at least 13 points. All 4 of their road losses have been by at least 13. They have not covered the spread in a loss yet this season.
Three of the Cavs’ last 4 wins have been by more than 10 points.
BET CAVALIERS -11.5 (-110).
The Cavs’ last 6 games have surpassed 238 total points.
For me, that trumps the Grizzlies having only 1 of their last 9 reach at least 239 points.
BET OVER 238.5 (-115).
