Articles are 5-3-1 so far in February, so let’s close out this weekend STRONG with another unit upgrade! Will have all numbers updated on Twitter tomorrow.
Toronto at Memphis -1 1/2 (O/U 228 1/2)
If you have been reading my content, you might have an idea where I’m going with this game. The Grizzlies got embarrassed on national TV this past Friday when Brooks struck Mitchell in the groin. They have lost 7 of 8 and have struggled without Adams, who has been out since Jan 23rd with a PCL strain. During the last 3 weeks they have been without Bane as well as Konchar for numerous games, but they are much better than recent results have shown. Jaren Jackson missed the Cavalier game with a thigh injury Thursday, but looked good at practice yesterday and has confirmed he will be back tonight. They head home where they sport a 21-4 record SU and are 5-2 ATS off a loss at home. Where they will play quite possibly a perfect opponent. A tired Raptors team where Memphis will use their speed and extreme athletic ability against them. I believe they will go small tonight and just be too fast for Toronto.
The Raptors are finishing their 7 game road trip with their 7th game in 12 days. While playing 10/12 away, they have a record of 3-6 ATS in away games during that span. No Toronto does not turn the ball over much, but I think this could be a rare game where they have many of them when fatigue sets in. Not to mention they face a Grizzlies team who are averaging 17.8 TO’s a game defensively in their last 5 games.
I think Memphis gets back to their old ways where they lead the league in FG%, luckily Toronto has given up 52.2 FG% in their last 5. They will try to out shoot them and get easy looks.
*UNIT UPGRADE*
