SCORE: 9

My model favors the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies pulled out a win in their last meeting. Expect another close scoring game even if JJJ sits this one out. There is also a chance Jonas Valanciunas returns today. In the event that doesn’t happen, Xavier Tillman is the next man up. Regardless, Memphis at +4.5 points is too much to pass up. I’m with the Grizzlies here.

SCORE: 3

My model favors the Knicks. The Hornets are again without starters LaMelo and Hayward, while Knicks without Mitchell. The scoring and play making will be harder to replace for the Hornets than the defense of Mitchell. Tonight’s game will be led by Rozier and Randle for their respective team – both players will be very productive. With that said, the Knicks are playing at home with a spectacular 9 game ATS win streak. I don’t see that ending tonight. I’m with the Knicks.

SCORE: 5

My model favors the Grizzlies. The Bulls are without their All-Star Zach LaVine, that’s a loss of 27 pts per game. So instead of expending energy chasing LaVine, Grayson Allen will have a big night and redeem himself for the two missed free throws that cost the Grizzlies in the last game vs the Mavericks. Chicago has not covered their last four ATS. Lay the points.
