The set-up: Memphis is gonna be hungry here as it comes to Houston having lost three of its last four. Most recently the Grizz fell 119-99 at home to the Clippers. I think it's very interesting to note here that the Grizzlies have seen the total go "over" the number in eight of their last ten games after scoring 100 or less points in a SU/ATS home loss in their last outing.

The pick: Here's the perfect opponent to get back on track against. Or at least attempt to. The Rockets can empathize with the Grizz, as they come into this one having lost ten in a row. Both teams are struggling, but hungry. Expect this to result in a faster-paced, and ultimately higher-scoring game.

This is a 10* TOTAL PLAY-BOOK on the OVER Grizzlies/Rockets.
