Memphis Grizzlies
Moneyline Pick: Cleveland (-149) - A

Darius Garland continues to dazzle for the Cavaliers, helping them extend their current five-game winning streak and putting the team in prime position for another triumph. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are struggling with a two-game skid, and the absence of Brandon Clarke has tested their depth. Historically, Cleveland has enjoyed strong performances in cross-conference matchups, frequently showcasing stout defense and fluid ball movement against Western foes. Given these factors, backing the Cavaliers at -149 earns an A rating for both likelihood and payoff potential.

Over/Under Pick: Under 245.5 Points, (+110) - B+

Cleveland’s star-laden roster has dazzled fans on a torrid four-game win streak, extending their league-best 55-10 record, while Memphis (42-24) tries to bounce back after dropping its last two. With the Grizzlies missing a key forward due to injury, offensive rhythm could suffer, especially against a Cavaliers squad that has historically clamped down on Western Conference opponents at home. Although both teams can light up the scoreboard, the imposing total of 245.5 points suggests that defenses and pacing might keep final tallies below that mark, making the Under a solid pick at favorable odds. The moderate return on this wager earns it a B+ rating, promising a tidy payout for those banking on a tighter contest.

Spread Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers, -1.5 (-111) - A
Donovan Mitchell has been electric throughout the Cavaliers’ six-game tear, leading a squad that shows no signs of slowing down despite Jarrett Allen’s sore ankle still keeping him out of the rotation. Across the court, the Grizzlies have dropped their last two, feeling the absence of Steven Adams in the paint and searching for a spark behind Ja Morant’s explosive play. Historically, Cleveland has enjoyed home dominance whenever Memphis comes to town, which only bolsters faith in the Cavaliers to outpace a slim spread. With the potential for solid returns and a strong likelihood of success, this pick earns an A grade for those betting on Cleveland to cover.
