Grizzlies at Raptors picks and predictionsPrediction
Raptors 121, Grizzlies 112
PASS.
The Grizzlies (+180) are in disarray after Morant’s suspension, so they aren’t worth a play as a significant underdog. For Toronto, the Raptors (-220) are far too expensive to consider.
BET RAPTORS -5.5 (-110).
The Grizzlies have struggled mightily as an underdog this season, and without their star guard not on the court, things could get ugly. They are 0-2 straight up and ATS as an underdog with an average margin of defeat of 9 points. Memphis is also 0-2 ATS on the road.
The Raptors are coming off their best performance of the season against the Cavaliers and have tallied at least 121 points in half of their games this season. The offense has the talent, especially at home, where they are averaging 118.5 points per game.
Back RAPTORS -5.5 (-110).
BET UNDER 238.5 (-105).
The Raptors are 1-2 O/U in their last 3 games and have scored 112 or fewer in 2 of their last 3 contests. While these teams play at a fast pace, neither has an efficient offense, with the Raptors 16th in offensive rating and the Grizzlies 21st.
Memphis, while 3-3 O/U on the season, is 1-3 O/U in its last 4 and has scored more than 118 points in just 2 of its 6 games this season. Considering those trends, take UNDER 238.5 (-105).
