Tuesday NBA Odds, Picks & Predictions: Smart Bettors Love the Spread in Warriors vs. Grizzlies

Golden State Warriors vs. Memphis Grizzlies Odds

The Warriors take on the Grizzlies Tuesday in their first game since Klay Thompson returned to the lineup.

That game versus the Cavaliers was particularly emotional — but not only for Warriors fans and personnel.

Draymond Green suited up for the contest in order to be on the court for Thompson’s return, then immediately fouled a Cavs player before being substituted for the rest of the game.

It was pre-planned by the Warriors — and they informed Cavs brass about their intentions — but Green’s prop bets were still live at DraftKings even after the team announced the situation at 8:31 p.m. ET.

Tipoff was scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET, but as customary in the NBA, that didn’t happen until about 15 minutes afterward.

DraftKings did not decide whether they would honor Green’s point, assist, and rebound total ‘under’ bets for another 30 hours or so. Ultimately, they opted to pay them off, but the lengthy uncertainty left plenty of bettors fuming.

The smart money is on the Warriors to cover – so much so, the line drove from Warriors -1 at open to -2.5.

The best price you can get on the market is with BetMGM at Warriors -1.5, which could get to -2 or -2.5.

Green will miss this contest with the same calf ailment that forced him out of Thompson’s return.

Meanwhile, Grizzlies big man Steven Adams is questionable due to COVID. Dillon Brooks, meanwhile, sprained his ankle last week and will be out for roughly a month.
