The Toronto Raptors are looking to get back on track when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night.
Toronto is coming off a bad loss as 13-point favorites to the Kings, marking its second straight defeat. Memphis has also lost two straight and has just one win in its last eight games.
The Raptors got a 117-104 home win over Memphis back in November.
The oddsmakers have the Grizzlies as big home underdogs at all betting sites on
Friday night.
Let’s take a look at the odds, a player to watch, and my prediction for Friday night’s NBA matchup.

Brandon Ingram, Forward, Toronto Raptors
Brandon Ingram had a few down games before a strong performance in Detroit, but it didn’t matter as the Raptors fell 127-116. Still, he scored 22 points on 7-of-15 shooting after putting up just 13, 16 and 8 in his previous three contests.
Ingram is averaging 21.4 points per game on the year and contributes on the glass with 5.5 rebounds per contest as well.
Raptors vs. Grizzlies Prediction and Pick
The Raptors have struggled recently, and you can’t guarantee a Toronto win in Memphis after losing at home to the Kings last time out. This will be the third game in four nights for Toronto, which could be an issue on the road.
Instead of taking a side, I’m looking to the OVER in this one. The Raptors have gone OVER in three straight games and the Grizzlies have gone OVER in four straight.Â
Look for another high-scoring game tonight in Memphis.
Pick: OVER 231.5 (-110)
