The current betting odds have the Grizzlies listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Grizzlies finished as one of the best teams in the Western Conference last season and they are looking to repeat the year they had with another strong 3-1 start so far. They are getting the winless Kings in this game who will be hungry for their 1st win of the season but it is going to be very hard against the Grizzlies here. The Grizzlies are a very deep team and Ja Morant is growing into a big star in this league. The Kings have some good players on their team but they are still trying to put everything together in their games while the Grizzlies are ready to dominate the NBA again and win the championship this season. The Grizzlies are just the better team here and they are going to roll over the Kings here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Grizzlies to cover the spread in this game.
