Analysis
Root Reserve on Memphis Memphis Grizzlies were one of the surprise teams in the league to start the season as they opened with a six-game win streak, but they are now looking to snap a three-game losing streak which had the oddsmakers adjusting tonight’s line. The Grizzlies have ruled out Isaiah Stewart and Scotty Pippen Jr again, while the Raptors have ruled out Kawhi Leonard and they are keeping an eye on Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley who both hold a questionable tag for this contest. The Grizzlies look to recapture their form following three tough defeats and they might get lucky against the Raptors who could be missing some key players for this one. The line could shift by the time tipoff comes round given the injury cloud hanging over the Raptors, but assuming that they are indeed short handed, I am looking at the Grizzlies to take advantage and pull off the minor upset on the road. The Grizzlies could easily be 8-1 on the season as they lost two close games by a combined five points before their loss to the Thunder, so I think this is a decent buy-low spot for them against a banged up Raptors squad.
