Free Washington Wizards vs. Memphis Grizzlies NBA Prediction:
This is a battle of two teams headed in two very different directions. We can’t take Memphis’ .500 play as of late too seriously; however, we can absolutely take stock in the fact that the Wizards are trending upward.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Wizards ATS
If the Grizzlies can truly come out and control the pace, turning into a slog and a defensive battle, this has a chance to be a close game with a low final score.
That said, we’re not buying into Memphis’ ability to do it against a John Wall- and Bradley Beal-led team.
Give this one to the Wizards by a convincing margin.
