Grizzlies at Hornets picks and predictionsPrediction

Hornets 118, Grizzlies 108

AVOID.

The Hornets should take care of business, but a poor 16-17 home record means we should probably skip the moneyline and bet on the spread.

BET GRIZZLIES +17.5 (-110).

As mentioned above, Charlotte has actually been better on the road this season. The Grizzlies have covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 games, and the Hornets are 2-5 against the spread over their last 7 games.

BET UNDER 235.5 (-115).

These teams combined for just 209 points in their last matchup against each other. Memphis has hit the Under in 4 of its last 5 games, and the Hornets are 4-6 O/U during their last 10 games.
