img8:00 PM Eastern

Memphis hasn't been playing well enough to lay this many points, even against the Pelicans. The Grizzlies are 3-8 straight up and ATS in their past 11 games, and New Orleans is 8-1 ATS in its past nine against Southwest Division opponents. The Pelicans have gone UNDER eight of 11 overall and six of seven versus Western Conference teams. They are 7-1 UNDER following an ATS loss. The Grizzlies are just 9-12 at home and rank #27 in field goal percentage (.455) and #22 in 3-point shooting (.349). Ja Morant is injured again and will miss the game due to a UCL sprain in his left elbow. New Orleans is 24-22 ATS this season. Take the points with the Pelicans and the UNDER.
