Memphis at Sacramento

Opponents are exploiting Sacramento's defensive shortcomings, losing two in a row while allowing 132 points each time. They've allowed over 129 points in four of the last five contests. The Kings rank #29 in the NBA in points allowed, and #25 in field goal shooting defense. By contrast, Memphis plays great defense for coach J.B. Bickerstaff, second in the league in points allowed, and seventh in field goal shooting defense. NBA road underdogs off two or more consecutive road losses are 88-54 ATS in the first half of the season. The Grizzlies have covered four of the last five meetings between the teams, so jump on the dog that plays superior defense and play on Memphis.
