There seems to be some bitching and moaning in the Grizzlies locker room, with reported bickering during their loss to the Orlando where they blew a double-digit lead.
“Every time there was an issue or a problem, we couldn’t solve the problem,” coach David Fizdale said. “It was a mess. Obviously, connection and communication is something that I stress a lot with these guys. We’ve got a lot of new faces combining with some old faces that we’re trying to blend.”
Liking the Unders here, with the Grizzlies playing at the 3rd slowest pace in the league. Currently waiting on markets to go live, but anything below 208.5 we’ll take.
Clippers for the win.

The Kings rank second-to-last in scoring (93.1) and 26th in field-goal percentage (42.7). Can’t see anything else other than a Detroit win here.

Both are on a back-to-back, The young Bulls are struggling early in 2017/18 to establish any sort of rhythm as they attempt to click as an inexperienced team.
Pelicans are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Chicago and we expect them to make it 7-1 after tonight.
Dallas @ Minnesota

The Mavs have dropped 5 straight and rank last in the league in defensive efficiency. Facing the young T-Wolves high on form and confidence after a 3 game win streak will be too much for Dallas.
That line’s too high though.
Golden State @ Denver
H2H Trends –
- Over is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Denver.
- Golden State are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
- Golden State are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Denver.

Denver has gone 3-1 over their last 4 after a slow start to the season, while the Warriors are showing glimpses of their best with 5 wins over their last 6.
Stephen Curry with 27.3 ppg, Kevin Durant is averaging 25.2 ppg and Klay Thompson is at 21.7 ppg.
The Warriors lead the league in PPG and with a day’s rest should take care of the Nuggets on a back-to-back. Like the Overs also, with the Warriors yet to find 4th gear on defense.
