NBA Betting Trends

Memphis

The Grizzlies have covered the spread in seven straight games as a favorite and 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following a cover.

Sacramento

The Kings are just 5-12-1 against the spread in their last 18 home games and 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games against a team with a winning record.

Prediction:

The home team has won and covered in both meetings thus far. The Kings picked up a 128-123 win at home on Jan. 2. The Grizzlies are playing pretty well right now and seem to be focused on making a playoff surge. They have won at Washington, Dallas and New York in recent outings. The Kings have been a tough out at home, but I just feel Memphis has the motivation to win that Sacramento doesn’t. The Kings aren’t even sniffing the playoffs.

NBA Prediction: Memphis Grizzlies -1
