The Memphis Grizzlies may be having some problems with how their team is built. The NBA is becoming faster and more athletic, with a faster pace to the games. The Grizzlies seem to be built for the playoffs, and suddenly a team that was 31-10 in the regular season at home a year ago, has already dropped seven here. Perhaps the biggest shocker is that they are getting outscored at home by 1.7 points per game. Just 12 months ago they were home to the Knicks as a -14.5 point favorite, a testament of how things have changed for both teams. The Knicks can get to .500 with a win and are an under-the-radar 24-16 ATS on the season, including 12-6-1 ATS as a road dog. They have won two of their last three outright as a road dog, and lost the third by a single point. Play on New York.
