BETTING TRENDS

Brooklyn are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games.

Brooklyn are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games on the road.

Memphis are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games.

Memphis are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games at home.

Prediction

The Nets are back in the game and they play better on the road, obviously because they can count with Kyrie Irving who scored 60 points in his last game. The Grizzlies will keep Morant out for this game as they're thinking in the playoffs already. The Nets really need this win and they'll take advantage of Ja Morant absence. 

PICK: Nets -2.5 (-110)
