Memphis at Washington

Memphis took the post-season last year looking like a team that was destined to challenge as one of the top teams in the NBA this season. They played horrible basketball for a considersble stretch to start the season, but have come on like gang busters of late. The Grizzlies own an 18-6 record over their last 24 games, playing as well as any team right now. Washington has been disappointing, as they also looked like a team ready to move up. The Wizards have won six straight, but five of those came against really bad teams. The difference here is the Grizzlies are playing well, are in the rugged West facing top teams on a regular basis, and are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 vs. a winning team. Make the play on Memphis.
