Moneyline
The Kings are winless and on the road against an undefeated team. The Grizzlies already beat the Kings by double digits on the road.
The Kings are allowing opponents to score 126.8 points per game and have allowed 120+ in all 5 games.
It isn't even tempting to bet the upset, but the spread is better value betting either team than the Grizzlies to win.
PASS.
Against the spread
Four of the Kings' 5 losses are by double digits. They are 1-4 ATS on the season. The outright winner in the last 8 meetings between the teams has also covered the spread.
The Grizzlies beat them by 11 on the road and are 5-0 ATS this season.
BET GRIZZLIES -8.5 (-115).

The Grizzlies' only game with the Over cashing was against the Kings.
BET OVER 231.5 (-105).
