Grizzlies at Cavaliers NBA Picks: The Cleveland Cavaliers, at 38-11, lead the NBA Eastern Conference, and after 49 games, are amidst their best start in franchise history. Sunday's victory over the Clippers pushed the team to a season-high eight game winning streak. Tuesday night, the Cavaliers look to stretch that streak to nine when they host the upstart Memphis Grizzlies (26-21), who are in the playoffs hunt in the Western Conference.
Memphis could have some heavy legs in their game at Cleveland tonight after having played an emotional game Monday on their Fed Ex Forum home court against the Lakers. The Grizzlies flexed some muscle and dispatched the Western Conference best team 95-93 in spite of giving up 44 to Kobe Bryant.
Memphis has won seven of their last 10 games SU and have covered the spread in six of 10. Memphis covered the spread versus the Lakers as a 1-point favorite.
Cleveland, winners of eight straight, easily covered the betting spread versus the Clippers on Sunday as 12-chalk favorites in their 114-89 victory.
Memphis leads the season series between the teams 1-0 after winning 111-109 at FedEx Forum in Memphis on Dec. 8, 2009. In the game Cavs' forward LeBron James tallied season-highs of 43 points and 13 rebounds to go along with six assists. The game was James' 35th career 40-point game.
NBA Picks: While it's tempting to take Memphis and the 10 1/2 points, I feel the Grizzlies could be a little tired after Mondays win and be a little flat versus Cleveland. I think the Cavs will win by a dozen.
