Hornets at Grizzlies picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 101, Hornets 97
Moneyline
BET GRIZZLIES (+100).
While the Grizzlies are plagued with injuries, they have seen other players step into their roles to keep the team afloat. They are 3-2 in their last 5 and have held opponents to 102 or fewer points in 3 of their last 5. They face a Hornets team that is also dealing with a number of crucial injuries and has lost 7 of their last 8 including 5 in a row on the road. Charlotte has struggled on offense as well scored 100 or fewer points in 3 of its last 4.
Against the spread
PASS.
There are better odds on the Grizzlies moneyline.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 202.5 (-105).
While this line is one of the lowest all season for both squads, both teams are drowning in injuries which produces a sloppy product on the offensive end. The Hornets have hit the Under in 8 of their last 10 Games including 4 of their last 5. They have scored 100 points or fewer in 7 of their last 10 and have allowed 101 or fewer points in 2 of their last 4.
The Grizzlies have scored 93 or fewer points in 2 of their last 3 and 101 points or fewer in 7 of their last 10 while allowing 102 or fewer in 3 of their last 5.
