Knicks vs. Grizzlies NBA Prediction:
The Grizzlies’ high-powered offense may have a slight edge, but the Knicks’ recent victory over Memphis suggests they are capable of an upset. That’s why I like the over more than the side. The over is 9-1 in the last 10 meetings between these two teams and is 7-3 in the Knicks’ last 10 contests. It has also hit in back-to-back Memphis games.
