Injuries have certainly played a role for this Memphis team over the past two seasons, but they have done a great job in spite of them. This is a team that has turned the focus to the defensive end of the floor, and just one team has produced over 100 points against them in their last 24 games. That definitely is not the Rockets’ game, as Houston is just 3-8 in the 11 games they have scored 95 or less. The Grizzlies have soared in the role of a small favorite as they are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games as a favorite of -4.5 or less, and have a pedigree vs. teams from the Southwest Division at 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26. Houston certainly hasn't been exempt from that list as they have failed to cover their last three vs. Memphis. Play on Memphis in this one.
