Pick: Memphis Grizzlies +2
Always difficult going against Magic formula, but the Grizzlies have been challenging the better teams at home this season. Plus, we enter a REVENGE MOTIVE tonight as Orlando crushed Memphis 89-72 already this season, but that was in Florida. So, the venue and psychology have been reloaded for the Grizzlies this time around from the situational perspective. Technically, the Grizz are a super 12-2 ATS versus winning units, which is a clear indicator of their vacillating personality. Further, it should be noted Memphis is a perfect 5-0 ATS as an UNDERDOG in this price range and 6-1 ATS in their last seven attempts on their home boards. Orlando is 1-6-1 ATS as a road favorite and 2-7-1 ATS on the road versus a winning home club. There are many edges available to those backing Memphis this evening, but surely the end result will come from Orlando being on the back end of 4 games in 6 road venture. The change effect should help reduce the overall psyche of the Magic, especially in the fourth quarter tonight. -Brad Diamond
