Memphis at Tulsa picks and predictions

Prediction

Memphis 83, Tulsa 76

Moneyline

PASS.

At -450, there is no value betting on Memphis, which is 11-2 overall and 3-1 on the road, to win.

Against the spread

LEAN TULSA +8.5 (-110).

While Tulsa is outmatched overall, it is 9-0 straight up at home this season and 4-1-1 ATS in its last 6 at the Reynolds Center. Memphis has struggled to cover the spread of late with a 3-5 ATS record in its last 8 games and is coming off back-to-back non-covers. Tulsa will rally behind its home crowd to keep this game close.
