Minnesota at Memphis Game 2 – NBA Playoffs Pick ATS – 4-19-22

Memphis will host Minnesota in game 2 of their series in 1st round NBA playoff action as the Grizzlies look to bounce back from a game 1 upset loss.

Just as in game 1, the Grizzlies are favored by -6.5. The total is 241 at betonline sportsbook.

Most NBA observers expect Memphis to make some adjustments and come out tonight and make a statement. It’s a must win game as coming back from an 0-2 deficit in the series would be a tall order.

But while our model agrees with the Grizzlies winning, it suggests getting the cover may not be a lock. Our prediction can be found at the bottom of the page.
