ATS Matchup Stats | Gambling Insight!

This season the Grizzlies are 14-14 at home and the Knicks are 8-14 on the road.

In their last games the Grizzlies beat the Orlando Magic 86-81 and the Knicks lost to the Sacramento Kings 106-101.

The Grizzlies got off to a bad start this season mainly because reigning Defensive of the Year Marc Gasol was out with an injury, but with him back on the court Memphis is back in the playoff race. Before the All Star break the Grizzlies had won 2 straight and 7 of their last 10 games.

The Knicks are 12 games under .500, but in the weak Eastern Conference they are only 2.5 games out of the last playoff spot. They have lost 5 of their last games and they are 6 games under .500 this season.

While Gasol leads Memphis and their 3rd ranked defense he is questionable for tonight’s game with a knee injury. The Grizzlies need to play solid defense, as they only rank 27th in the league in scoring.

While Gasol may not play tonight Mike Conley, who leads the team in scoring, is back after missing time with an ankle injury.
[ad-6571516]
Earlier this season in New York the Grizzlies beat the Knicks 95-87.

Carmelo Anthony ranks 2nd in the league in scoring and poured in 30 points for the East in the All Star game. He may get more scoring help tonight with 3rd leading scorer J.R. Smith coming back from an injury.

Tyson Chandler has not looked like the defensive presence he has been in the past few seasons and he has a tall task tonight inside facing Zach Randolph and Gasol if he can go. In Randolph’s last 3 home games facing the Knicks he is averaging 21.3 ppg and 12.3 rpg and in the earlier win this season in the Big Apple he went for 25 points and 15 boards.

Memphis is in the 9th spot in the Western Conference only 1.5 games back of the Golden State Warriors.

Betting Trends

The Knicks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games, and in their last 4 road games they have an Over record of 4-0.

The Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games, 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall, and they have an Under record of 14-2 in their last 16 games.

The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games between these 2 teams.

Jason’s Pick:

I think Gasol will go tonight and with the defense the Griz have they will win and cover at home.
