Bulls at Grizzlies tips and predictions

forecast

Grizzlies 123, Bulls 114

Money line

HAPPEN.

I expect the Grizzlies (-300) to win at home, but skip that money line because the odds are too high for a minimal return. Instead, bet on the spread, which offers better value for the potential outcome.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -7.5 (-110).

This matchup will highlight the Grizzlies' depth. With 6 players averaging double-digit points and each playing around 20 minutes per game, the Grizzlies demonstrate impressive balance across their roster. Additionally, Memphis ranks 2nd in the league in assists per game, showcasing its unselfish style of play that spreads the scoring load. In contrast, the Bulls rely heavily on their starting lineup, which could prove problematic if there are foul issues. Without the ability to lean on a deep bench, Chicago could have a difficult time keeping up with Memphis.

The Bulls are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games against Western Conference opponents and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games in October.

Over/Under

BET OVER 234.5 (-110).

Expect a high-scoring battle with both teams showing a strong tendency to reach the over so far this season. In their two meetings last year, the Over won money in both games. The Bulls are currently 2-1 against the Over and have seen an Over total in 7 of their last 9 games since last season, including 5 of their last 6 on the road. The Grizzlies are 3-0 against the over this season and have exceeded the total in 4 of their last 5 games in October. Both teams have impressive offensive numbers and are in the top 15 in points per game – Memphis at 119.3 (8th) and Chicago at 113.0 (13th). With this offensive firepower, you can look forward to another high-profile duel.
