?The bookies are taking in consideration a lot of things here but I think that the most important one is that the Grizzlies didnt play well so far this season. I rate the Grizzlies as one of the 8 best teams in the league and for me Utah is not even close so this is a no brainer for me, lets take Memphis.
We have here two of the best team deffensively in the league, probably the best two. Utah has Gobbert and Favors in their frouncourt while the Grizzlies have Marc Gasol and Randolph. Gasol is probable and I expect him playing. I cannot imagine Memphis playing in Utah without Marc knowing that Utah have a very powerful frontcourt. In the Jazz side, they are with Favors questionable. He has flu and in their last match he left the court in the second half to not play again. He should be playing but still not at his 100%
Besides these two frontcourts, we have Hayward as the main weapon for the Jazz and Conley for Memphis. Hayward had great numbers in previous matchups against the Grizzlies and it is for sure the player to watch over. I really think that Allen and Green could stop Hayward and if they do that, Utah is in troubles. The biggest advantage that Memphis has over Utah is the depth in their roster. While Utah has Neto, Burks, Burke and Hood as "the other guys", Memphis has Allen, Lee, Barnes, Green, Wright, Udrih or even Carter. For me there is a big gap between both rosters in their favour (Memphis).
I think that Memphis will take this one. You can take the ML or the short spread, but both should be good imo.
Btw, their last meetings played in Utah were won by the Grizzlies, and they have almost the same roster than then.

Marc Gasol (neck) will play on Saturday against the Jazz.
Gasol still isn't 100 percent, but the Grizzlies haven't been playing well and really need a win tonight against a solid Jazz team. Gasol produced 15 points with five boards, three assists and two blocks in his previous outing, so his owners can comfortably activate him in lineups.

I want to share another pick with you but I dont want to open a new thread so here you have:
Orlando Magic vs Philadelphia 76ers
Nikola Vucevic is out for this match, confirmed already, so the biggest weapon that the Sixers have, their game in the paint, will have an easier matchup today without Vucevic.
Orlando is playing great, their shooters are hitting shots from everywhere and their pace is a little bit higher comparing with previous year.
Philadelphia is a young team, and that usually means that they love to run. They have good shoters but sometimes they can handle the pressure. We can see that in their first halves that are always better than the second ones because they are playing pressure free. When the game is on the line, they always fail.
I think that we are going to see a speedy first half with both teams shooting well and scoring, Orlando from beyond the arch and with mid range shots while the 76ers should take advantage in the paint with Okafor and Noel.
Very low line when we saw both teams scoring this season better than previous years so, I like the over.
