Matchup: Memphis Grizzlies vs. New Jersey Nets

Selection: New Jersey Nets -5.5 (-110)

Explanation: We will lay the points with the New Jersey Nets as they face-off against the Memphis Grizzlies in Tuesday's NBA contest.

The Memphis Grizzlies have been a horrible team on the road this season (1-5 record - allowing opponents to score an average of 106.2 points per game). The Memphis Grizzlies might be coming off a win, however, when coming off a win the Memphis Grizzlies are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games (dating back to last season).

On the other hand, the New Jersey Nets are starting to heat up after their bad start. The New Jersey Nets are 3-0 SU and ATS in their last 3 games, and now have Carter back in the lineup which will help this team out a lot (a guy of Carter's talent brings so much to a team).

The New Jersey Nets are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against teams with a losing record. The New Jersey Nets are also 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games against Western Conference teams.

The New Jersey Nets have also already proven they are superior compared to the Memphis Grizzlies. This is shown by the New Jersey Nets being 3-0 SU & ATS in their last 3 meetings against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Take the New Jersey Nets -5.5!
