Grizzlies at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 106, Grizzlies 105

Moneyline

PASS.

The Cavaliers (-230) are a little overpriced on the moneyline, even if Morant sits on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES +5.5 (-101).

Even if Morant isn’t available, Memphis will still be extra focused to bounce back on national television after blowing a 2nd-half double-digit lead vs. Portland on Wednesday. Playing 2 days in a row should be fine for the Grizzlies as Memphis is 4-3 ATS this season on the 2nd night of a back-to-back and excels against Eastern Conference teams, owning a league-best 14-5-1 ATS record in non-conference games. Take the points.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 223.5 (-106).

The Under is 7-0 in Memphis’ last 7 games and 5-1 in Cleveland’s last 6. These teams tend to play low-scoring games vs. each other, with the Under hitting in 5 of the last 7 meetings, and Thursday’s matchup should be another slower-paced contest as both teams tighten up defensively to avoid losing back-to-back games.
