10* Memphis (2:30 ET): Underdogs had a strong effort yesterday, especially in the daytime where there were two huge upsets - Nets over Bucks and Suns over Clippers. The former was the largest upset the NBA has seen (in terms of pointspread) since 1993. I was on the latter. Were Memphis to defeat Utah Weds afternoon, it would obviously not be in the same realm of those aforementioned upsets. But still give us the Grizz plus the points in this one.

Both of these teams are 0-3 ATS since the restart. The only difference is Utah did win a game straight up, their opener, 106-104 over New Orleans. But the Jazz trailed by double digits in that one. Memphis just played New Orleans, and lost, a result I was happy about since I laid points with the Pelicans. Having lost three in a row, the Grizzlies hold on 8th place in the Western Conference has gotten a lot more tenuous. They entered Tuesday just two games up on both the Spurs and Blazers. A play-in scenario is all but assured with whomever finishes ninth, but right now Memphis simply needs to worry about winning a game.

After suffering a third straight loss, news got even worse for Memphis when it was announced yday that forward Jaren Jackson Jr is out for the season due to a knee injury. Jackson had averaged 25.3 points in the three games so far. However, let’s not forget Utah is playing without its second leading scorer - Bojan Bogdanovic - as well. Also concerning for the Jazz is that their last two opponents have shot better than 50% from the field. Memphis is more desperate here. 10* Memphis
