Memphis Grizzlies at Toronto Raptors Pick
Spread Pick for Grizzlies vs. Raptors
- Toronto Raptors to cover (5 units)
Toronto and Memphis has shown to be on similar levels this season, but the postgame comments on Friday by Ja Morant leaves a lot to be questioned and he has now been suspended for the game by the team. Without one of the best scoring guards in the league, they are in a tough spot to figure out how to attack the basket. Toronto was able to look sharp against a serious contender in Cleveland in their last game. Toronto also has been able to step up as one of the best teams at the perimeter, shooting 40.6% as a team, so they are significantly better than where Memphis is. The Raptors have shown themselves to be the better team so go with the Toronto Raptors to cover the spread in their own building here.
Over/Under Pick for Grizzlies vs. Raptors
- OVER (4 units)
These are two of the top teams in the NBA in terms of moving with the pace as the Grizzlies are third in the NBA with a 105.25 pace while the Raptors are seventh with a 104.25 pace up to this point. Both teams are also struggling to defend the perimeter as Memphis is 29th in the league with a 39.9 opposing 3-point percentage while Toronto is 17th with a 36.3 percentage against them from beyond the arc right now. They also are pushing the pace with the ability to score on the fastbreak as the Grizzlies are fifth in basketball with 19.7 fastbreak points per game while the Raptors are ninth with 17.7 fastbreak points per game. Bad defensive numbers and a quick pace mean points so go with the OVER to hit.
