You need a big frontcourt and defense to hang with Memphis, and Washington has both with Drew Gooden and Marcin Gortat up front. And they can play defense as they held New York to 10 first quarter points the last game in a blowout win. The Wizards are 5-0-1 ATS when following a win of more than 10 points. Washington is #14 in the NBA in points allowed and #2 in field goal shooting defense, allowing .434% shooting by opponents. Washington is 5-1 UNDER the total on the road and 6-0 UNDER when playing on no rest. Memphis prefers a slower pace, on a 26-9-1 run UNDER the total. Memphis is 2-3 SU/ATS the last five games, and are off a victory, but the Grizzlies are 4-11 ATS following a win. Play Washington and the game total UNDER.
