I've got this total being a few points too high. While neither team has been elite defensively this season, both have been solid. Plus, Utah is efficient offensively, but moves slowly, while Memphis is inefficient offensively and moves quickly. You're always playing with fire taking an under when Ja Morant is involved, but I'm taking the chance.

Rudy Gobert (calf) and Donovan Mitchell (concussion) will be out again, putting the Jazz in a tough spot. They have lost four of their last five games with them out, with their only win coming against the Pistons. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are getting healthier with Desmond Bane back from his bout with COVID-19.

I'm just going to play this now -- some books have it active, some don't -- on Memphis for Friday. We know Rudy Gobert is out for the Jazz again and that alone should be enough for the Grizz to win at home. Donovan Mitchell might return from his concussion, but if ruled out this number would jump quite a bit. I tend to think Utah waits until Sunday for Mitchell. Thus the early play.
