Memphis at Cleveland

Memphis is a handful for any team to face, ninth in the NBA in scoring and fifth in points allowed. The Grizzlies are 8-2 ATS when playing on one day of rest, plus 8-3 ATS against a team with a winning record. While Memphis is seventh in the NBA in field goal shooting defense, Cleveland still has problems on defense allowing 47% shooting (26th). They also rank 16th in points allowed. The Cavs are 7-0 at home when LeBron James scores more than 22 points compared to 2-5 when he doesn't, and if anyone can stop or slow down King James it's this Memphis defense. Cleveland is on an 0-6 ATS run, 0-5 ATS in their last five home games. The Grizzlies have won five of six against the Cavs, and the underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings between these teams.
