Memphis at New Orleans

The Grizzlies are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games with the NBA's top defense, allowing 89.2 points per game. That defense is so good that they shut down mighty Oklahoma City the last game, an impressive 90-89 win in overtime. Memphis held the NBA's top offense to 35.7% shooting, including a 2-for-18 showing from three-point range. The Grizzlies are 4-0 ATS against a team with a losing record and face a bad New Orleans team ranked No. 25 in points scored, No. 20 in rebounds and No. 14 in points allowed. They are in a let-down spot here after a thrilling win over the Celtics 87-86, on a last second tip in, though that ended a four-game skid. The Hornets are still on a 1-4 ATS run and 1-6 ATS in their last seven games against a team with a winning record. Memphis is motivated, in a tight battle with the Clippers for the No. 3 seed in the West, and the Grizzlies are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in New Orleans. Play Memphis.
