Kings at Grizzlies picks and predictionsPrediction
Grizzlies 125, Kings 118
Both teams are struggling mightily, but the Kings are terrible. They have lost 16 games in a row and have only 3 road wins all season.
The Grizzlies are 1-5 in their last 6 games, but are 11-15 at home and have as many wins (3) in their last 10 games as the Kings have on the road all season. The last time the Kings came to Memphis, it was a 137-96 Grizzlies win on Nov. 20.
At this point, there is no reason to bet the Kings to win a game, especially on the road, and you can get better odds and value betting the spread for either team than the Grizzlies ML.
