Memphis Grizzlies vs. Sacramento Kings Betting Prediction
The Grizzlies started their five-game road trip with back-to-back losses following an eleven-game winning streak. Meanwhile, the Kings will also enter Monday's contest coming off a loss. While the Kings have likely been the NBA's most surprising team, as they have exceeded even the most optimistic predictions, don't expect them to beat a Grizzlies team that will be as close to full strength as they have been all season. Look for Memphis to win by at least two points.
Prediction: Grizzlies -1.5 (-110)
