Why Bet on the Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies have seen a four game losing streak, and a three game losing streak this month. The Grizzlies have dipped to one of the lowest scoring teams in the league; with just over 99 per game. Before Marc Gasol was injured, he led the team with 16.6 points per game. Now, Mike Conley has to carry the offensive torch and also facilitate the offense. Zach Randolph is also one of the top scorers for Memphis. The Grizzlies need just one more win to finish above .500, but they will not reach 50+ wins for the fourth straight season.

Why Bet on the Raptors

The Toronto Raptors are looking to play their best basketball before the start of the postseason. The Raptors will host the first two rounds of the postseason in their gym. The Raptors are led in scoring by shooting guard DeMar DeRozan, while Kyle Lowry is dishing out nearly 7 assists per game. The Raptors came into the game against the Hawks as losers of three out of their last four; including losses to the Celtics, Rockets and Thunder. Toronto has won 48 and 49 games the previous two seasons, but with the win over Atlanta reached 50.

Expert Pick & Final Score Prediction

The Memphis Grizzlies have struggled since losing Marc Gasol to a season ending injury. The Grizzlies struggle to score, and will have a tough time using strictly their defense to beat the Toronto Raptors. Toronto is a team with good guard play. The problem for the Raptors is, this game is on the road, where they are no where near as good. Look for Toronto to find a way to win this game, but in the end, Memphis covers the spread. Bet the Memphis Grizzlies +4 over the Toronto Raptors on Friday.

The final score prediction is Toronto 97 and Memphis 96.
