Mar 21, 2025 | 14:00 ET | FedExForum, Memphis, TN

Memphis
Moneyline Pick: Memphis (100) - B+

Memphis rolls into this contest on a eight-game winning streak, while Colorado State runs in with ten straight wins. The Tigers’ guards, Tyrese Hunter and Dante Harris, remain questionable due to a lingering ankle and foot injuries. Historically, Memphis forward Troy Daniels has posted double-digit scoring in past meetings with Colorado State, increasing confidence in the home side’s offensive edge. With these factors in play, a Memphis pick at +100 offers considerable upside and earns a solid B+ recommendation for both its likelihood to cash and its tempting payout potential.

Over/Under Pick: Over 146.5, (-110) - B+

Memphis guard PJ Haggerty, fueled by an eight-game winning streak for the Tigers, looks primed to exploit Colorado State’s defensive lapses, despite the Rams surging in with a ten-game winning streak. Reports indicate Memphis forward Tyrese Hunter may be recovering from a sprained ankle, but he is still expected to provide a strong interior presence alongside Johnson. Meanwhile, Colorado State’s versatile forwards have historically averaged over 20 points against Memphis, could bolster the Rams’ scoring potential if he returns at full strength from a minor knee tweak. Despite question marks around Bailey’s participation, anticipate both offenses pushing the tempo and driving the score beyond the set total, a wager graded B+ for its solid payout potential without too much risk.

Spread Pick: Memphis, +1.5 (-110) - B+

Colorado State’s sharpshooting guard Nique Clifford enters this matchup as the Rams extended their run to ten games with an upset in conference play, while Memphis rolls in on an eight-game surge built around their relentless half-court defense. Historically, the Tigers have shown a knack for knocking off Mountain West contenders, giving them an edge in confidence when the stakes are high. Taking Memphis at +1.5 not only holds a moderate risk but also carries a solid payout if they maintain their momentum, earning this bet a B+ rating. Citations: Official team press updates.
