Surprisingly, this is the first meeting of the season between these two struggling teams and even though Memphis is in the midst of a long losing streak, it's only a small underdog against the Bulls, who have lost six of their last seven games and are at the bottom of the Central Division. Chicago lost 105-89 to Boston on Monday while shooting only 39.5 percent and the Bulls scored just 29 points in the first half. Denzel Valentine scored 20 points, but got little help from his teammates and his team allowed the Celtics a .488 shooting percentage. Memphis has covered three of its last five games, including a two-point loss at San Antonio when Marc Gasol scored 23 points with 10 rebounds. Chicago is 0-8 ATS its last eight games with one day of rest and 1-6 ATS its last seven versus losing teams. Play the Grizzlies.
