Toronto at Memphis

Last night I heard Rudy Gay in an interview with ESPN declares that Memphis was by far the best team in the league. That usually is the kiss of death for a team, and makes good locker room fodder for the opponent. Toronto isn't exactly the type of team that will get the Grizzlies’ blood flowing, so the "A” game here is not likely. What the Grizzlies are likely thinking of is their date at San Antonio on Saturday. Remember the "best team" in the league was down to Cleveland at home by 7 points going into the fourth quarter. The Raptors may be 3-12, but have been knocking on the door. They have lost twice in overtime to the likes of San Antonio and Utah, and have had a pair of 1-point losses in two of their last four. Three of their last four games have resulted in an overtime loss and a pair of 1-point losses. Memphis is getting too big for themselves and could be on the ropes tonight. Take Toronto on the moneyline.
