Memphis at New Orleans

The New Orleans Pelicans remain a marginal threat to land in the top eight in the very competitive NBA Western Conference, but they took a giant step backward last night in losing to Boston. Memphis remains one of the top teams in the NBA, and appear to be poised for a deep playoff run, as their game translates well to the playoffs. The Grizzlies have been amongst the best in the NBA, having gone 20-10 on the road this season where they have won four of their last five. The Pelicans used a lot of energy with starters going over 160 minutes last night, and they are 3-7 ATS coming back the next night when that happens. Deeper Memphis starters went over 160 minutes last night as well, but the difference is they are 27-13-1 ATS on no rest when that occurs, and the difference here. Play on Memphis.
