Memphis at Los Angeles

Memphis has been impressive, including a winning road record, anchored by defense, tops in the NBA in points allowed, ninth in field goal shooting defense. They've won five in a row after winning at San Antonio as a +3 dog the last game. Point guard Mike Conley had 30 points, nine assists, and is averaging 25.3 points over the past seven outings. The Grizzlies are on a 19-7 spread run, 13-3 ATS playing on one day of rest. Memphis is also 75-41 UNDER the total after four or more consecutive wins, plus 40-19 UNDER after five or more straight wins. The L.A. Clippers can also play tough defense, second in the NBA in shooting allowed. But this is not a good situational spot for them, home from a three-game trek, blowing a 24-point lead in Tuesday's 125-118 loss to the Wizards. The Clippers are 36-66 ATS after allowing 120+ points. The underdog is 9-4-1 ATS when these teams clash, with Memphis 8-3 ATS at the Clippers. Back the hot dog in a defensive duel. Play Memphis and the UNDER.
