Cavaliers vs. Grizzlies Prediction:
Take the under in this matchup on Friday night. These two teams lead the league in points per game, both averaging just over 122 per game. That being said, the under has hit in 4 straight games for the Cavs and in 5 straight games for the Grizzlies. The first matchup between these two this season ended 129-123 (252 total points) with the total line being at 248.5. Donovan Mitchell led the Cavs with 33 points and Jaren Jackson led the Griz with 22 points.
Mitchell leads the Cavs in scoring with 24.2 ppg. He has been ruled out. Jaren Jackson leads the Grizzlies in scoring with 22.7 ppg. He is a game time decision after missing 5 straight games. Important to note that the Grizzlies are on the back-to-back and will play on Saturday night as well. They might elect to hold off for one more game as to not stress out the ankle. Also the under is 3-1 with Memphis playing as a home dog. This is a very high total, both teams could be missing their top scorers, and both teams are on under streaks. Take the under on Friday night.
