Memphis Grizzlies vs Washington Wizards Prediction

Double digits, with both sides tied at the end of a game, is not a game I run to the window to bet on. However, the Wizards remain weak for the time being and a win over the Nuggets won’t change things much. The Wizards are still 3-18 SU and 6-14-1 ATS this season. You sit on a pile of money and just blindly let the Wizards disappear. The Memphis Grizzlies have covered 7 of their last 10 games and are 16-8 ATS this season. The Grizzlies outscored the Wizards by 24 points a month ago. Keep fading the wizards.
