Contrary to popular belief, there are other NBA playoff series going on besides Suns-Lakers and Hawks-Knicks.
In the Western Conference, the Utah Jazz currently have a 3-1 series lead over the Memphis Grizzlies and will look to close out the Grizz tonight at Vivint Arena.
The Jazz are currently 9.5-point favorites over the Grizzlies, so the betting market clearly expects a relatively easy win for Utah.
However, the key question for spread bettors is whether Utah will end the series with a double-digit victory over Memphis, or if the Grizz can, at the very least, keep this game within nine points.
And when it comes to that question, our NBA PRO Projections provide a clear answer.
Grizzlies vs. Jazz Betting Prediction
The Jazz are -9.5 tonight against the Grizzlies and The Action Network’s NBA PRO Projections suggest that number is way too long.
Our model projects the Grizzlies vs. Jazz spread at +6.2, a significant value for bettors willing to back Memphis and the points.
In fact, the difference between the projected spread of +6.2 and the current spread of +9.5 (click here for live NBA playoff odds) translates to an 8.6% edge, earning an A-minus grade from our PRO Projections feature.
At the time of writing, 71% of bettors are laying the points with the Jazz, however, the edge detailed above indicates that the contrarian play is the correct play for tonight’s matchup.
PRO Projections Pick: Grizzlies +9.5
