This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Revenge Game of the Year. This is the second game of a two-game set between the Clippers and Grizzlies in Memphis and the first meeting on Wednesday had a shocking result as Ja Morant was listed as questionable coming in while Kawhi Leonard was a late scratch yet Los Angeles won by nine points behind one of the best shooting efforts from Russell Westbrook this season. Leonard is questionable again tonight and whether he goes or not is not a huge concern as Memphis will be out for payback. The Grizzlies had their seven-game winning streak snapped with that loss and this is the second to last home game of the regular season for Memphis and it is a big one for the upcoming postseason. The Grizzlies have a two-game lead over Sacramento with five games left after this one for the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference and home court advantage through the first two rounds of the playoffs. The defeat was just the sixth one at home for Memphis and in its previous five home losses, it played its next game as home twice and won those games by 21 and 15 points. Here, we play on favorites revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, off a home loss. This situation is 230-152 ATS (60.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (572) Memphis Grizzlies
