Jazz vs Grizzlies Pick

Memphis guard Ja Morant is still experiencing discomfort in his left elbow and will be reevaluated in two weeks. These two teams rank in the top seven in tempo, so the over is worth a look. The stronger play is on the Jazz to pull off the upset as a small road underdog. Final score prediction, Utah Jazz win 124-119.
