Point Spread: -4.50 | -110.00 Memphis (Home)
Result: Win
This is a big game for both teams, but the situation is ripe for Memphis.
The Grizzlies have been idle since Saturday. They've had all this time to reflect on a bad 92-83 home loss to the Wizards in their last game. The Grizzlies have been preparing hard for this matchup. They consider it a playoff game. Memphis has some banged-up players, but the extra time off between games should help.
New Orleans is in a dogfight with Oklahoma City for the last Western Conference playoff spot. Right now the Pelicans are there at the No. 8 and final seed after an emotional 103-100 victory against the Warriors last night. The Pelicans' best players are fragile. Memphis could be the most physical team in the NBA.
It's the fourth game in six days for New Orleans and second in two nights. The Pelicans have played without rest twice since March 20 and lost by 16 points to the Warriors and by nine to the Trail Blazers in those games, both of which were on the road. The last time the Pelicans played at Memphis was back in November when they lost 93-81. New Orleans is 2-5 ATS the last seven times it has played a foe with a winning record.
The Grizzlies are in their own battle for playoff seeding. Following this game, the Grizzlies embark on a three-game road swing playing the Jazz, Clippers and Warriors. That's not going to be easy so they desperately need to win this home game.
