It ap[pears to me that Memphis may have been given to much respect here.
I know Seattle are playing their fourth road trip game with an OT yesterday and that to win away from home in the NBA is difficult, but any team would say its been successful when setting out on road trips if they could split the series.
Memphis is off 3 days rest. Giving less than 2 buckets against 1-13 Grizzles is hard to look. The Grizzles have won only one game this season and managed to get within four points in only one other game. Seattle has played a tough schedule yet are 9-6 and both their offense and defense put up superior numbers.
The Sonics have beaten the Grizzles in 7 straight games and are 6-1 ATS. Those contests were decided by 15, 14, 25, 12, 13 and 13 points respectively. So why is Seattle favoured by less than 2 buckets?
