Latest Odds : Clippers -10.5
Both teams come in rested and ready to go as both teams were off on Friday although Clippers with an advantage due to not having to travel. Clippers are rolling along and normally you might see Kawahi Leonard taking the night off if the team the Clippers were playing the next night were better but they have the Knicks on deck next so I think you will see Leonard play this Grizzlies game.
Kawahi has turned this Clippers team from being a fringe contender to the best team for my money in the NBA Lakers included. Kawahi averages 25.3 points per game 7.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists as this man does it all plus he also plays a lock down defense something that James Harden does not provide. Clippers not only have Knicks on deck next but have the downtrodden Warriors up after that so a real chance for the Clippers to make hay in their conference.

Paul George will be a game time decision for the Clippers but I see them sitting him out this game and bringing him back against the Knicks on Saturday then resting Kawahi. Memphis Grizzlies come in 13-22 but they are a team on the up tick. They are 5-5 in their last 5 games and have been a good team to bet covering 6 of their last 9 games.
Jaren Jackson has been leading this team in scoring with 17.6 points a game with 4.8 rebounds along with co lead 2nd overall pick in the draft out of Murray State Ja Morant he has been a dynamo for this Grizzlies team getting 17.6 points per game and getting 6.5 assists per game as well as 3.1 rebounds.

All in all the Grizzlies alway have value with them as the young players will get better as the season rolls on and players step up into their projected roles. Clippers though seem like a team on a mission they have covered 6 of their last 10 games a rare occurrence for a good team and also they will want to get this game over quick to maybe rest some of their older talent. Play on the Grizzlies here to get blown out Clippers win this game 117-90.
