Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction and Betting Pick. Utah Jazz host Memphis Grizzlies as +3.5 underdogs with a 176.5 line at 9.00 PM ET on Friday, April 10 2015. The visiting team won the last four meetings. The most recent meeting was in Memphis in March and Utah won 82-93, covering the +7 spread as the game went under 180.5.
Utah Jazz won five of their six games despite having no chances to make it to the playoffs. However, they have been playing almost exclusively against weak teams such as Sacramento or Minnesota.
Memphis Grizzlies need to step up their game unless they want to lose the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. Zach Randolph seems to be waking up, and the Grizzlies really need him to as they haven’t been convincing lately. While the Grizzlies have been beating the underdogs, they can’t seem to cope with the strongest teams in the league, and that’s a major cause of concern with playoffs in sight.
