Monday they face a stiff test against a Grizzlies squad that isn’t receiving the same love from Vegas despite also being 9-1. Memphis (25-to-1 odds in the futures book) ranks second, right behind Houston, in points allowed per game, so we can expect tonight’s contest to be a low-scoring affair.
The Grizzlies are 4-point home favorites, with a total of 187, and while the season is still in its infancy, Monday’s matchup should provide some insight into what we can expect from these two teams throughout the winter and into the playoffs.
