Grizzlies Face Wizards in Sunday Matchup: Odds, Predictions, and Betting Advice

Washington, D.C. – The Memphis Grizzlies (15-16) will visit the Washington Wizards (6-23) this Sunday for a 6 p.m. ET tip-off at Capital One Arena. The Wizards are looking to build on the momentum of their recent 138-117 victory over the Toronto Raptors, while the Grizzlies are coming off an impressive 125-104 win against the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Wizards lead the season series 1-0, having defeated the Grizzlies 130-122 on December 20th. In that game, Washington covered as 12.5-point home underdogs, and the over of 228.5 cashed.

According to BetMGM Sportsbook, the Grizzlies are favored to win outright (-285), but experts advise caution against betting such heavy favorites. Instead, a lean towards the Wizards +7.5 (-110) is suggested, noting Washington’s strong recent record against the spread, especially at home. In the last 4 matchups between these squads in the DC, the Wizards are 3-1 against the spread (ATS) and 3-1 outright.

The Grizzlies have the better defense, but the Wizards are a team that scores a lot on the fast break, the Wizards will be able to make up for any potential turnover issues.

Furthermore, betting the over of 240.5 (-110) is recommended, given the Wizards’ tendency to play high-scoring games and the history of the Over hitting in recent matchups between these teams.

Key Trends to Consider:

  • The Wizards have covered the spread in 5 of their last 7 games, including the last 3 at home.
  • The Over has hit in all of Washington’s last 4 games and is 19-10 for the Wizards this season.
  • The Over has hit in each of the last 3 matchups between these squads.

Injury reports should be checked before placing any bets.
