I don't expect Zion Williamson to see action in this game since he played in the Pelicans', 146-117, embarrassing road loss to the Rockets last night. Williamson hasn't played in back-to-back games since returning from a hamstring injury in early January. 

Still, I like the Pelicans getting this many points. 

New Orleans plays much better at home. The Pelicans are 6-3-1 ATS in their last 10 games in New Orleans. They're much improved on the boards, which was a real weakness.

Mainly, though, my handicap is a fade on Memphis.

The Grizzlies aren't playing well enough to lay this many points on the road. They are 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 games. Memphis gave up 94 points through three quarters to the short-handed Mavericks before winning, 122-111, this past Friday. That has been the Grizzlies' lone cover during their past 10 games. 

Memphis continues to be without its best big man, injured Jaren Jackson Jr. He won't play today because of an ankle injury. The Pelicans have upgraded their rebounding enough to take advantage.
