Premium Pick

Memphis hadn't played in six days while Minnesota carried over the momentum from its victory over the Clippers last Tuesday, winning Game 1 on Saturday. The Grizzlies will have to get off to a better start in Game 2 as the Timberwolves set a franchise playoff record with 41 points in the first quarter. Also, Memphis needs to find a way to guard Anthony Edwards, who exploded for 36 points. Game 1 losers are known to be more focused and aggressive in Game 2 in the NBA playoffs, and the Grizzlies still are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 home games and 10-3 ATS overall after a loss. Also, Memphis is 37-14 ATS after losing by at least 10 points. Game 1 went OVER by nine points, and the Timberwolves are 6-1 OVER in their last seven games. Memphis has gone OVER in five of six, and Minnesota is 37-16 OVER on the road. Take the Grizzlies for a Max Play, and also back the OVER.
