Preview
The LA Clippers will travel to Memphis, Tennessee to play against the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have dominated the Clippers so far this season as they have beat them 3 times already, twice in LA and on in Memphis.
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
Clippers are coming from a loss against the Bucks where they lost by 24 points but for me the renewed team didn't look bad. Norman Powell had a great debut as a Clipper, he led the team with 28 points and four assists. Marcus Morris Sr. finished with 20 points, eight rebounds, and four assists, while Robert Covington added 13 points and four rebounds.
LA Clippers are 24th in the NBA in scoring with an average of 106.3 points per game. LA shoots 45.0% overall which is 21st in the NBA and 36.0 percent from three-point land which is ninth best. They have played well defensively, giving up 107.4 points per game.
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
The Grizzlies continue to be one of the best teams in the league, they have won five of their last six games and the offense seems unstoppable. Ja Morant is the leading scorer for Memphis with an average of 26.4 points per game and is shooting 49.0%, while the second leading scorer is Desmond Bane with an average of 17.8 points per game and is shooting 46.2% overall.
Memphis has also played well defensively, giving up 108.6 points per game and are one of the best defensive rebounding teams in the league and they average more than 10 steals per game.
BETTING TRENDS
Grizzlies are 36-19 ATS overall and 17-11 ATS at home.
Grizzlies are 8-1 SU in their last 9 at home.
LA Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on the road.
LA Clippers are 4-1 when the spread was +6 to +9.
Prediction
Clippers new additions Powell and Covington played really good in their first game and I think they will have even more confidence on this game. Grizzlies are tough to beat at home but they're only 4-3 when the spread was -6 to -9. I'll take the points with the Clippers.
PICK: Clippers +8 (-110)
