Down big men Marc Gasol and Brendan Wright, the Grizzlies have altered their style. They are more up-tempo and giving extra minutes to wing players P.J. Hariston and Lance Stephenon. Gasol and swingman Tony Allen, who is likely to miss a seventh straight game due to a sore knee, are Memphis' top defenders. The Grizzlies are weaker defensively without those two.

Gasol was injured eight games ago. The Grizzlies have adjusted by playing much faster. They are averaging 110.6 points during their last five games. Utah isn't as strong defensively on the road and its defense has been down lately surrendering triple digits in five of eight games since the All-Star break.

The over has cashed in eight of Utah's last nine road matchups versus a foe with a winning home mark.

The Jazz are averaging only 95 points during their last three games. But all three of those matchups were against Eastern Conference foes. If you discount their last Western Conference game against San Antonio, the league-leader in defense, the Jazz have averaged 105.7 points in their last four contests versus Western Conference foes.
