Wizards vs. Grizzlies Game Info
Washington Wizards (14-20, 7-10 Away) vs. Memphis Grizzlies (16-16, 7-11 Home)
Date: Wednesday, March 10, 2021
Time: 8 p.m. EST
Venue: FedExForum — Memphis, Tenn.
The Wizards started to figure some things out before the break, winning eight of their last 11 games. Bradley Beal has taken over, scoring 25 points in all but two games since January. He is averaging 32.9 point per game, which is the most in the league. Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook has been playing better and seeing more minutes. He nearly averaged a triple-double in February, going for 19.1 points, 10.4 rebounds and 9.6 assists.
The Grizzlies have been extremely hit or miss all season long, and they have dealt with many injuries along the way. However, star guard Ja Morant turned it on before the All-Star Break, scoring 35 points in back-to-back games. This is the level of play Morant must play with for Memphis to be competitive consistently. Jonas Valanciunas has been a walking double-double this season, but he must increase his low-post defense.

Wizards vs. Grizzlies NBA Picks | Total
Much like the point spread, those making NBA betting picks for the total in tonight’s Wizards – Grizzlies game should be a bit selective. Those interested in betting the total over will find the best value at SugarHouse and DraftKings in the form of an over 237 (-109) ticket. On the contrary, those looking to bet the Wizards – Grizzlies total under should aim to do so at BetMGM or FanDuel, with a line of 237.5 (-110).
Wizards vs. Grizzlies Prediction
The Wizards started to figure things off before the break, and the time off should have benefited their backcourt more than anyone on the Grizzlies. Washington has been pretty good against the spread on the road this season, covering 58.8% of the time. Memphis, on the other hand, has split against the spread in their home games. The Wizards are also 15-10 against the spread as an underdog, as they are tonight. I will side with the road team, as I assume Morant won’t be able to make it three games in a row with 35 points.
Prediction: Wizards +3.5
