Betting Trends for vs
New Orleans will be without high scorer and top rebounder Anthony Davis, but has a deep enough bench to compensate against a team like Memphis. The Grizzlies have lost 11 of the last 12 straight up and have failed to cover the spread in 7 of the last 8 at home and 8 of the last 10 versus Western Conference opponents. Final Score Prediction, New Orleans Pelicans win and cover ATS 103-102.
