The Grizzlies will be -3 point favorites with a total of 217, so the books expect a close game in this one, but the real question is how we can make money off this contest.<\/p>\n Grizzlies Blow One<\/h3>\nLosing in the NBA is one thing, but to have a big matchup against the 76ers and then to have Joel Embiid ruled out earlier that day, and to have a four point lead late, and you end up with a loss is brutal. It\u2019s the NBA, anyone can win, but that was a golden opportunity that they let slip past them.<\/p>\n It\u2019s probably just a blip on the radar as they\u2019ve been spectacular winning 16 out of their last 20 and they\u2019re by far the best against the spread team this season going 34-19 this season, and they\u2019re 7-3 against the spread their last 10 road games, so I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see them win and cover.<\/p>\n They\u2019re going to be the better team in offensive efficiency, and their pace of play is going to be way higher so I feel like if they aren\u2019t sulking because of the Monday loss they can come out and get back on the winning track.<\/p>\n Knicks Take Out Kings<\/h3>\nA win is a win, but a win against the Sacramento Kings these days isn\u2019t something you\u2019ll get a trophy for. It was a needed win for them as they had lost six out of seven going into that game, but I don\u2019t see a big winning streak coming for this team.<\/p>\n They are last in pace of play, and it shows when they play as they struggle to create shots and get quality shots. They\u2019re 22nd worst in offensive efficiency, and Julius Randle has regressed which makes for a very clunky team who has scored 96 points or less in four out of eight games.<\/p>\n The Knicks are covering more games at home than they are on the road as they are 7-3 against the spread at home their last 10 and 4-6 against the spread on the road their last 10 so maybe Madison Square Garden has some magic left in it.<\/p>\n New York Knicks vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction<\/h3>\nMemphis hasn\u2019t lost two straight since before Christmas, and I don\u2019t see them losing in this one. They have multiple scorers and guys who can create their own shots, and New York doesn\u2019t have anyone in the category of Ja Morant, and probably Bane and Jackson as well.<\/p>\n The speed of Memphis should overwhelm and take over the second half, and New York won\u2019t have an answer for the scorers of the Grizzlies. I\u2019m surprised that this line, I think Memphis wins easily here.<\/p>\n OFFICIAL PLAY: Grizzlies -3<\/strong><\/p>\n Interested in placing a bet on tonight’s New York Knicks vs Memphis Grizzlies contest?
