The Memphis Grizzlies did well in the playoffs a year ago as a No. 8 seed because they thrive in the half-court game. They have begun to build that same momentum closing in on the finish to this season. The Grizzlies have allowed 100 points or more to just one team in their last 12 games, and just three of their last 22 without the benefit of overtime. Utah is 10-21 on the road and hasn't been able to dictate much, so they won't get Memphis out of the half-court game here. The Jazz have also played four of their last five to the UNDER. The Grizzlies are digging in on the defensive end off a loss as they have followed a setback by amassing a 20-7 mark to the UNDER, and overall in their last 11 stand at 9-2 to the UNDER. The last seven meetings have been decidedly UNDER with a 6-1 mark as well. Play this one UNDER the total.
