Raptors vs Grizzlies Prediction: Grizzlies +3.5
The Memphis Grizzlies have been strong on the road with a 4-0 record. Despite their recent three-game losing streak, their ability to perform well away from home makes them a reliable choice against the spread. Their scoring average of 117.9 points per game supports their potential to cover the spread.
The Toronto Raptors have been inconsistent, with a 5-4 record overall. While they have a winning record at home, the Grizzlies' road performance could challenge the Raptors. Toronto's 27th-ranked three-point shooting percentage might give the Grizzlies an advantage defensively.
Memphis has a solid defensive lineup, allowing only 111.8 points per game. This ranks them 11th in the league. Their strong road performance combined with these stats suggests they can keep the game close.
Considering the above factors, I am picking the Grizzlies to cover the +3.5 spread. This choice is backed by their solid road record and defensive performance.
- Raptors vs Grizzlies Prediction: Grizzlies +3.5
- Raptors vs Grizzlies Score: Grizzlies 112 - Raptors 110
