The Memphis Grizzlies were playing at an unsustainable pace as they opened the season at 21-4, but have lost their last two games, for the second time in their last 10 games overall. Despite how strong they have been, they have been somewhat disappointing and overrated as they have covered just 10 of their last 22 despite the lofty record. Utah for the most part held off the horrid start they had a year ago, but more than compensated for it with a subsequent nine game losing streak, and 12 losses over 13 games. They are no doubt a bad team, but for the moment have found themselves winning two of their last three, as well as covering four of their last five. The Jazz have been at their best on a day of rest where they own a 12-4 ATS mark in their last 16 while the Grizzlies are known to be a no-show vs. poor teams coming in at a woeful 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 vs. a team below .400. Make the play on Utah.
