Grizzlies at Clippers odds, lines, tips and predictions
forecast
Grizzly Bears 117, Clippers 104
Money line
“LEAN” to the GRIZZLIE (-130) or PASS entirely because I’d rather lay the points with Memphis than pay the extra fee with the money line.
But Memphis is 2-1 SU as a street favorite, up 11.0 chances to score, and LA is 1-3 SU as a home underdog.
Against the spread
BET 1.5 units on the GRIZZLIE -1.5 (-120). I’m not trying to be a hero and fade this ardent Memphis team.
The Grizzlies have beaten the Clippers twice this season, and that was a much healthier LA team than this version. The Clippers are missing several key contributors, including the All-Star Wing Paul George.
Since PG13 was sidelined on December 26th with an elbow injury. LA has the sixth worst adjusted net rating with minus 7.4 points per 100 possession (CTG) and ranks 25th in effective field goal shooting.
In addition, the Clippers 0-2 SU and ATS are against the Grizzlies, although PG scores 32.0 points per game (PPG) at 70.1% true shooting (.558 / .476 / 1,000).
Memphis breakout superstar Yes Morant also balled up against LA. Morant averages 28.0 PPG this season at 64.3% true shooting (.575 / .333 / .750) and 6.5 assists per game against the Clippers.
Additionally, this is a better place for the Grizzlies who have ATS 13-5 in away games, while the Clippers have ATS 9-14 at home and ATS 1-3 in day games.
After all, Memphis has a few strengths-on-weaknesses when it comes to ball safety and rebound.
BET that GRIZZLIE -3.5 (-120).
Over under
EXIST because I expect the Grizzlies to maul the Clippers and this game could die out in the second half if it’s one-sided. What it’s worth, Memphis is 19-21 O / U and LA is 17-22 O / U.
