LA Clippers - Under 120.5 pts(-105)MEM Grizzlies @ LA Clippers

Fresh off a gritty 119-112 win over the Phoenix Suns, the Memphis Grizzlies head into Los Angeles looking to continue their momentum against the Clippers. Last night, Memphis played spoiler to Kevin Durant’s historic 30,000-point milestone — leveraging its defense to close out the game despite shooting just 43% from the field and 31% from three. The win reinforced the Grizzlies’ identity as an up-tempo, high-scoring team that leads the NBA in scoring at 123.5 ppg while playing at the fastest pace and ranking second in rebounds. Oddsmakers have flipped the script on Memphis, which was a -4.5 favorites against Phoenix but now finds itself as a +4 underdog in L.A. This line is a head-scratcher considering the Grizzlies’ success in back-to-back scenarios; they boast a 7-1 record while averaging an explosive 125.1 ppg.

The Clippers’ edge lies in home-court advantage, where their efficiency improves. They average 112.1 ppg at home compared to 108.6 on the road, and Kawhi Leonard’s defensive presence will be a factor. However, their offensive output remains inconsistent; they have surpassed 120 points just 5 times in 14 games with Leonard this season. Recent history between these teams also favors a lower-scoring game, with 5 of the last 6 matchups staying under. The Clippers have reached 120 just once in those 6 meetings and only 3 times in their last 13 games. With Memphis’ underrated defensive efficiency (ranked 6th) and L.A.’s scoring struggles, the Clippers’ under looks like the best angle.

Grizzlies vs Clippers prediction: Los Angeles team total Under 120.5 (-105) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

Point Spread PickBest Bet
DET Pistons -6.0(-110)DET Pistons @ CHI Bulls

The Detroit Pistons dominated the Chicago Bulls on the Bulls’ own home court last night, picking up a 40-point win after leading by 42 at halftime. And it seems that the sportsbooks have taken the Bulls’ second-half performance far too much into account, as the Pistons are favored by just 6 points in the rematch. Each side has had issues on the second night of back-to-backs this season, both holding a 2-7 record. However, the Pistons have a point differential that is just -3 in those games — as opposed to the Bulls, who are at -9. There were no new injury concerns last night; both teams go into this one relatively healthy, with Lonzo Ball being the one big miss for the Bulls.

The Bulls are ranked ninth league wide this season in 3-point percentage. However, over the last 7 games that they played without Zach LaVine, they have dropped to 17th in the league. That decline was evident last night, when they made just 10 of their 47 3-point attempts. Considering they already give up the NBA’s most points in the paint per game this season, not being able to make up of it with an efficient perimeter attack at the other end means more blowout losses are probably on the way for the Bulls. They have gotten their 2025 first-round draft pick back and may tank the rest of the season. The Pistons starters showed last night that they are a step above, and there is no reason to think there will be a different outcome.

Pistons vs Bulls prediction: Detroit -6 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to -8.
