Memphis at Washington

Washington is getting no respect from the oddsmakers as the Wizards are getting double digits even after upsetting Denver 122-113 last night. Jordan Poole scored 39 points and the Wizards overcame a 56-point game by Nikola Jokic to snap a long losing streak. Memphis is in a huge letdown spot while also playing a back-to-back after defeating Boston 127-121 on the road on Saturday night. The Grizzlies shot 50 percent and 15 of 33 on 3-pointers with Ja Morant scoring a team-leading 32 points. It is doubtful that the Grizzlies can come close to duplicating that performance while getting mentally ready to play last-place Washington and covering a big number on no rest. Take the big points with the Wizards.
