Memphis is in 13th place in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies will be a man down, as they traded Xavier Tillman to the Celtics, and Derrick Rose and Jaren Jackson Jr. are questionable for the game. Memphis is putting up 107 points a game which ranks dead last in the league. They are shooting 43.8% from the field, a league-worst, and 34.7% from deep, third worst. They are better on the defensive end, ranking 13th at 113.3 points a game. They are 8-15 against the spread when they have played at home.

Neither team has played well over the last couple of weeks but Chicago has shown the ability to score when they have things going on offense. Chicago is 5-2 against the spread as road favorites. Chicago should be able to handle the worst offense in the league, an offense that will be short in quality depth for this game. Chicago won by 29 in January and even though it won't be that large, the Bulls will win and cover in this one.
