The Rockets are going to be shorthanded for this game with Victor Oladipo (rest) ruled out. The Grizzlies already have a huge mismatch with Jonas Valanciunas primed to exploit Houston's lack of size up front. Add in the Rockets posting just a 3-9 record ATS at home, and I like the Grizzlies to cover.

The Grizzlies are 7-5 on the road and facing a Rockets team that's dropped 10 straight. During their skid, the Rockets are giving up 118.5 points per game on 48.7 percent shooting. Memphis is coming off a split with the elite Clippers. The Grizzlies are strong inside, led by Jonas Valanciunas, and should score a ton in the paint vs. a Rockets team missing Christian Wood. Back the road dog.
