The Memphis Grizzlies, boasting a solid 16-8 record, are set to face off against the struggling Washington Wizards, who stand at 3-18. The game tips off at 7:00 PM ET on Sunday at Capital One Arena, home to the Wizards. Both teams are coming off back-to-back games, a scenario that often tests the stamina and depth of a squad. The Grizzlies, however, are the clear favorites, reflected by a hefty -11.5 spread and a commanding -550 moneyline, indicating an 82% implied probability of victory.

Memphis has been on a tear, winning 14 of their last 20 games, including an impressive 127-121 upset over the Boston Celtics. Despite entering that matchup as 7.0-point underdogs with just a 29% chance to win, the Grizzlies emerged victorious, showcasing their resilience and capability to outperform expectations.

On the other hand, Washington has been struggling, dropping 17 of their last 20 contests. However, they did pull off a surprise victory against the Denver Nuggets, winning 122-113 as 11.5-point underdogs with only a 15% chance of winning. This win could provide a much-needed confidence boost for the Wizards as they prepare to host the Grizzlies.

For those interested in player props, Jordan Poole's Points and Assists market has garnered attention. Initially set at Under 29.5 (-110), sharp bettors have driven it down to 28.5 (-110), indicating a belief that Poole might not hit those numbers.

While both teams face the challenge of limited rest, Memphis's recent form and overall record suggest they have the upper hand in this matchup. Washington will need to channel the energy from their recent upset if they hope to compete against the surging Grizzlies.
