Look for them to depend on Tyreke Evans early in the game, as Mike Conley will need to be eased into the action to warm up (and test out) his sore achilles.
But today, I think we will see Memphis pick up the pace in the second half, play with discipline and execute down the stretch (in the 4th quarter) when points are needed the most.
This Memphis team is prepared and focused on returning to form. Ultimately, I see the Grizzlies surprising early and pulling off an upset over the Clippers today.
Final Score: Memphis 102, Los Angeles 95
Pick: Memphis +203 ($492 to win $1,000)
