You can't blame the Grizzlies for being fat and happy. They've won six of their last seven and just defeated the Nets, 132-120, without their best player, Ja Morant, last night.

You can't blame the Grizzlies either if they are overconfident for this game against the 25-48 Pacers. The teams just met nine days ago and the Grizzlies buried the Pacers, 135-102, shooting 51 percent from the floor.

Memphis was a 6 1/2-point road favorite in that game. Now the line is nearly doubled. I don't believe that is justified.

The Pacers not only have short revenge, but they should be fired up after having their two-game win streak end in heartbreaking fashion with a one-point home loss to the Kings last night. The Kings pulled the game out on a tip-in with less than one second left.

Indiana is 15-5 ATS the past 20 times when playing on zero rest. The Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS following a double-digit victory and probably will be missing Morant again. Memphis also has a far bigger matchup on deck hosting the Bucks Saturday.
