NBC Sports Betting Best Bets
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) Expects Memphis to Start Slow: Grizzlies 1Q Team Total Under 30.5 (-113)
“In all seven of the Pelicans’ back-to-backs this season, none of their opponents have scored more than 30 first quarter points on New Orleans. Memphis played last night at home and blew out 155 points on Toronto, but now goes to New Orleans without rest, along with the Pelicans, who lost last night in Houston. I see a slow first quarter between two teams without rest, and it traveled.”
