The Grizzlies are struggling and they fired their head coach Marc Iavaroni yesterday and this should lead to a spark tonight. Weak teams often receive a temporary wake-up call when a head coach is fired in mid-season and this exactly the situation which is needed to get the Grizzlies out of their current 0-7 SU/ATS slide. The recent losing streak has now created line value as the Knicks remain one of the worst teams in the league and should not be laying this many points to any opponent. New York qualifies in a negative 29-61 ATS weak home team situation after their SU dog win on Wednesday and New York also qualifies as a weak defensive favorite as they allow 106.3 points per game and 47.8% FG (versus opponents that average just 98.4 ppg and 45.7%). Memphis fits a strong 82-46 ATS underdog situation which plays on rested road teams on an extended losing streak and the Grizzlies’ struggling offense should find success tonight against the Knicks’ awful defense. Memphis is a young team that has struggled in half-court games this season, but they are athletic and should perform better tonight in a fast-paced, uptempo atmosphere.

Play Selected Point Spread: 6.5/-113
The Warriors are finally getting healthy and they expect to get starting guard Monta Ellis back in the lineup tonight for the first time this season. Ellis had a break out season last year and he has been practicing with the club during his 30-game suspension, so there should not be any disruption tonight. Golden State also expects to get center Andris Biedrins back tonight after he missed Wednesday’s game. The Warriors blew a 6-point lead entering the fourth quarter on Wednesday in an eventual 122-121 home loss versus Oklahoma City. Despite that last second loss, the Warriors are still in solid current form as they play their sixth straight home game as they have not lost any of their past five games by more than two points. Golden State also fits a 41-23 ATS situation which plays on underdogs that have scored 100+ points in multiple games. While the Warriors are finally getting healthy, the Cavaliers are battling multiple injuries and will once again be without two key players tonight as center Zydrunas Ilgauskas is out with an ankle injury and guard Delonte West is out with a wrist injury. These are two of the top four scorers on the team and combine to average 26.1 points per game this season and 10.2 rebounds per game. LeBron James is also nursing a bicep injury. The Cavaliers are coming off an impressive win versus the Blazers on Wednesday, but Cleveland has letdown recently on the road versus losing teams, including outright losses at Chicago (+8) and at Washington (+9) this month. Overall, the Cavs have been a much weaker team on the road this season as they stand a perfect 20-0 SU (16-4 ATS) at home, but only 12-8 SU/ATS on the road.
