Kings at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 117, Kings 115

Moneyline

BET GRIZZLIES (-104).

The Grizzlies should have the right formula to take down Sacramento. They have a defensive-minded guard in G Marcus Smart healthy, and he should be able to take the challenge of guarding Fox. Morant's health has been key, but he's back. The Grizzlies are 4-1 in his 5 games.

The Kings haven't played their best basketball lately either, losing 3 of their last 5. The Grizzlies have 3 players topping 20 points per game which should give better flow as the Kings rely heavily on Fox, who is the lone player topping 20 per game.

Behind Smart and Morant, take Memphis to win at home. Back GRIZZLIES (-104).

Against the spread

PASS.

Take the stress out of a 1-point spread and back the Grizzlies to win outright.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 235.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies are 13-18 O/U on the season, and they haven't been a high-scoring team since Morant's return. They have topped 116 points just once in their last 6 games and only gave up 120 or more in the lone game Morant missed with an illness. His presence changes the flow and how Memphis plays entirely.

The Kings are 16-14 O/U this season, but have gone Under in 3 of 4 games, scoring 120 or fewer in 5 straight games. They have held their opponents too 110 or fewer in 3 of 4 as well.

Considering the trends, back UNDER 235.5 (-110).
