Minnesota tied the series at 2-2 and made 31 of 40 free throws in its 119-118 victory in Game 4. However, Memphis bounced back in a big way after losing Game 1 and blew out the Timberwolves by 28 points in Game 2 before winning again in Game 3. Ja Morant had an off-game, scoring just 11 points on 4-for-13 shooting while Desmond Bane hit eight 3-pointers and totaled 34 points for the Grizzlies, who played 12 guys in the first quarter due to fouls. Morant obviously is not 100% healthy, but Memphis has enough depth to help out if it can stay out of foul trouble. The Grizzlies will make adjustments to give Morant more room to operate, and they are 31-12 straight up at home this season while the Timberwolves are 21-22 on the road. Take the Grizzlies on the moneyline.
