Charlotte Hornets vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction
This line is kind of surprising. Yes, the Grizzlies are banged up and on the end of a back to back, but who cares. The Charlotte Hornets have injuries of their own and they're not winning. The Hornets are 7-26 SU on the road and 26-39 ATS on the year. This is a case of two bad teams that you don't want to back, but somebody has to win and cover. Give me the free bucket with the Grizzlies at home. Backing the Hornets in the favorite role isn't something I'm excited to do.
