Hawks vs. Grizzlies Odds, Pick, Prediction: Bet Ja Morant, Memphis to Cover (December 12)

Action Network contributor Kenny Ducey explains how to bet on Monday's game between the Hawks and Grizzlies.

Memphis Grizzlies are the hottest team in basketball at the moment. They take on the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night. Memphis is playing on second night of a back-to-back.

Hawks are in a tough spot as they have to back-to-back games after Sunday's overtime victory in Memphis. They have collected fewer than 46% of available rebounds in two of their last three games. The Grizzlies are a strong team on the glass. John Collins is injured. Atlanta is 5-8 straight up on road this season and 10-25-1 ATS as road underdogs.

Grizzlies are 9-3-1 ATS at home and 7-4-2 AET as the home favorite. Memphis has only lost one game since Nov. 22. Ja Morant and Steven Adams are both questionable for this game. Neither injury seems serious. Grizzlies are collecting 49% of available rebounds this season.

Hawks are without Collins and Capela. Memphis is just outside the top 10 in the league in points per game allowed to opposing point guards. The Grizzlies should be able to control Trae Young with their group of talented perimeter defenders.
