The Grizzlies are being undervalued in this spot. It's understandable. They just lost to the Suns, 109-100, on Sunday while the Cavaliers are coming off a hugely-satisfying 17-point home victory against the Celtics this past Saturday in a big revenge spot.

The oddsmaker also isn't giving the Grizzlies respect because Memphis is down Marc Gasol, its best player. But the Grizzlies are a playoff, prideful, savvy, veteran team that gives up the seventh-fewest points in the NBA. The Grizzlies have been holding their own, too, minus Gasol winning seven of their last 10. The Suns are the only team to score more than 100 points during the Grizzlies' past six games.

This is an under-the-radar spot, too. Memphis is 8-1 ATS off a loss and also 8-1 in its last nine games versus Eastern Conference opponents. The Grizzlies are 9-4 ATS, too, the past 13 times when playing without rest. There's a strong possibility they could get back Tony Allen, their second-best defender.

The Cavaliers are in action for the third time in four days. They may not have their full focus either knowing the Grizzlies just lost to the Suns. Cleveland embarks on a four-game West Coast trip beginning Wednesday so that's a potential distraction.
