Wizards at Grizzlies Prediction 1/5/18

Washington has been a positive 11-8 against the spread on the road this season and come into this game hot. That said, they haven’t had much success against the Grizzlies in Memphis and failed to get the cover in an earlier match-up at Capital One Arena winning by just 6 as a -7.5 favorite. I’ll take my shot on the home dog here.
