Memphis has won and covered four straight, including 104-96 over San Antonio on Saturday as Mike Conley led a balanced scoring attack with 19 points and Zach Randolph came off the bench to score 18 points and grab seven rebounds. The Grizzlies had beaten the Pelicans seven times in a row until their last meeting when New Orleans pulled out a 95-91 win as an eight-point underdog. The Pelicans shot 49.3 percent in that matchup compared to 37.1 percent for the Grizzlies. However, the Memphis offense has come alive and has averaged 104.5 points during the winning streak while allowing only 92.8. The Grizzlies are fourth in the league defensively, allowing 100.4 points per game compared to the Pelicans, who give up an average of 106.0. Look for Memphis to prevail in a payback situation. Play the Grizzlies.
