Odds: -106 / 1.94 on Pinnacle Sports OR -110 / 1.91 on BetOnline
Washington had a big game yesterday against Charlotte and with their loss, the Wizards' playoffs chances are now remote. Coach Brooks tried everything and Beal logged an incredible 45 minutes on the court to no avail. This will be Washington's third game in four days and hence, this spot isn't good for them at all. On the other side, Memphis has been playing well lately, but they got crushed by Atlanta on their last game as they had no answer for the Hawks' frontcourt shooting range and Collins' physicality. The good news for them is that the Wizards play with undersized lineups and so, Memphis should have the edge near the basket tonight. Conley and Bradley have been playing well lately and against a tired Beal, I expect the Grizzlies' backcourt to have a good game tonight. I'll be taking the Grizzlies for a good road win tonight.
