The Memphis Grizzlies (37-19) will face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers (46-10) in their final game of a 5-game road trip at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. With tip-off scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, let’s take a closer look at the NBA odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook and make our expert picks for the best bets on this matchup.
The Grizzlies come into the game after a narrow 105-104 win against the Orlando Magic, bringing their record to 2-2 on the road trip. Guard Ja Morant led the team with 23 points, while Forward Brandon Clarke contributed a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. However, Memphis has failed to cover the spread in their last 3 games with the Under hitting in 4 of their last 5 games.
On the other hand, the Cavaliers are on a hot streak, winning their last 6 games, including a dominant 142-105 victory over the New York Knicks. Guard Donovan Mitchell led the team with 27 points and has been instrumental in Cleveland’s recent success. The Cavaliers have covered the spread in their last 4 games and have also seen the Over hit in 4 of their last 5 games.
In terms of betting, the Cavaliers are heavy favorites at -220, while the Grizzlies are listed at +180. We suggest passing on a standalone bet on the Cavaliers due to the high risk, but consider a light play on the Grizzlies at +5.5. The Over/Under of 249.5 is a large number, so approach this bet with caution given both teams’ recent scoring trends.
