NBA Betting Trends
Utah
The Jazz are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. Utah is 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings.
Memphis
The Grizzlies are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games versus the Northwest Division. Memphis is 2-6 ATS in its last eight games following an ATS win.
Prediction:
Memphis is coming off a big win and while its opponent tonight is much better, the Jazz have struggled on the road thus far. I also think the Grizzlies match up decently at a couple key positions including center where Valunciunas can at least muscle up with Gobert in the interior. Conley Jr. might press a little much in his return home and Morant is gaining more confidence with each game. Take the points with the Grizzlies tonight.
