Grizzlies -5.5
Rockets are limoing the finish on a 1-6 SU and 2-4-1 ATS slide. Tonight, I'll lay the number with the visiting Grizzlies as Memphis will score the win and cover of this Houston team that is minus Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming.
Because of injuries, McGrady played just 47 games this seaosn while Yao appeared in a mere 10 games more. It;s little wonder that Houston has just 33 wins this season.
The Rockets most recent setback came Wednesday night at home to Minnesota, which the previous night had lost by 16 at Memphis. The Timberwolves were without Garnett, Ricky Davis, Rashad McCants and Troy Hudson and trotted out a starting lineup that was averaging just 38.5 points per game. And still they managed to beat the Rockets.
This Houston team is just playing out the string folks. They've been putrid at the Toyota Center this year and are on home spread slides of 11-28 overall and 1-6 as a home pup of 3 1/2 to 6 points. They'll be facing a Grizzlie squad that is 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS against the Rockets this year, including a 15-point win in their only previous visit to the Toyota Center.
Memphis is battling the Clippers for playoff positioning and needs to keep pace after watching L.A. rally from 18 down to win at Seattle Friday night. The Grizzlies are playing well and are on runs of 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS following Wednesday's win and cover at Charlotte.
Pau Gasol, Shane Battier, Bobby Jackson and the rest of the Grizzlies will be ready for this one and they won't suffer a letdown. Memphis will pull away late and win this one by double digits.
