Prediction

Wizards 124, Grizzlies 117

Moneyline (ML)

The WIZARDS (-115) are worth a look as slight favorites on the road, as the Grizzlies (-105) are playing the second end of a back-to-back set and they’re likely to have tired legs.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The WIZARDS (-1.5, -105) are a solid 7-5 on the road this season. They’re also a well rested side, and they’re 3-0-1 ATS in the past four when working on three or more days of rest.

The Grizzlies (+1.5, -115) are just 5-16 ATS in the past 21 when playing in the second end of a back-to-back, while going 2-5 ATS in the past seven overall at home.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the OVER 234.5 (-115) with or without Thomas’ involvement for the Wizards. The Under is 5-2 in the past seven for Memphis, still, the Grizzlies are unlikely to play strong defense while working on no rest. Tired legs lead to lazy defense.
