Memphis Grizzlies vs New York Knicks prediction

Those who have followed along over the years know I'm not a fan of laying double-digit chalk in the NBA. However, the Grizzlies entire roster is on the injury report and these G Leaguers are starting to run out of gas, as they got their boots smoked against the Warriors and Celtics. Massive line, and the Knicks could have their eyes on that big matchup against the Mavs in a couple of days. I still can't get behind the Grizzlies and this NCAA roster they're throwing out there. It's Knicks or pass for me.
