Grizzlies 9-Game Winning Streak Includes Crazy Against the Spread Trend
By Peter Dewey
The Memphis Grizzlies are just 3.5 games out of the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, mainly thanks to a nine-game winning streak that has propelled them to 28-14 on the season.
Ja Morant has been an absolute beast for the Grizzlies as of late, winning the Western Conference Player of the Week award and making some insane plays in the process.
The @NBA today announced @JaMorant was named Western Conference Player of the Week after helping guide @memgrizz to a 5-0 week.

Memphis heads into Tuesday’s matchup with the Golden State Warriors with the second best record against the spread in the NBA at 27-15, and it has covered at an insane rate on this winning streak.
The Grizzlies have covered in six consecutive games and eight of their last nine while on this winning streak.
When the Grizz are hot this season, they are scorching hot, covering the spread in 18 of their 27 games following a victory and going 19-8 straight up.
WynnBET Sportsbook currently has Memphis as a two-point underdog on Tuesday against the Warriors. Golden State has been great against the spread this season as well, but it is just 5-5-1 ATS as a road favorite.
The Grizz may be able to take advantage of that trend and win their 10th straight game put themselves into a tie with the Utah Jazz for the No. 3 spot in the West.
