Memphis Grizzlies at Chicago Bulls 2/13/19 – NBA Pick
The Grizzlies would like to be seen as a team that can pick up some wins on the year and facing the Bulls in this game that could definitely make it easier for the Grizzlies. The Bulls have struggled quite a bit on the season and are looking like they could be a lock for a lottery pick on the season. That is definitely going to give the Grizzlies an edge in this game as the struggles for the Bulls have definitely become a focal point for a lot of teams.
Memphis Grizzlies Preview
The Grizzlies are coming into the game sitting in dead last in the Southwest. The last game for the Grizzlies was a 1 point loss to the Spurs in the last outing.The Grizzlies in the game did have 33 points from Avery Bradley. Bradley also was able to get 6 assist as well. The other leader for the Spurs came from the bench to put in 23 points and that was from Jonas Valanciunas. Valanciunas was also the player who led the Spurs in rebounding with 10 boards in the game with 2 of them being on the offensive glass.
On the season the Grizzlies have been able to score only 100.3 points a game on average. The Grizzlies have typically been able to get 23.4 assist a game, but the team is horrible at cleaning the glass with only 40.5 boards a game. When it comes to the defense, though, the Grizzlies have been great giving up only 103.4 points a game.
Chicago Bulls Preview
The Bulls have not looked good most of the season, but the good news is the Bulls are better than the Cavaliers on the year. The Chicago club in the last game ended up losing the game, but was also held to under a hundred points in the game. The Bucks were able to put in 112 points against the Bulls defense. The Bulls were led by Zach LaVine in the scoring as he put in 27 points. Lauri Markkanen was the second leading scorer with 20 points and he was a machine on the boards in the loss pulling down 17 rebounds.
This year the Bulls have struggled offensively with only 102.8 points a game. The Bulls defense has given up 111.6 points a game on the year so far. The Bulls have been able to get a total of 21.9 assist a game on the year. The Bulls rebounding leaves a lot to be desired with only 42.1 boards a game.

My Free NBA Pick: Memphis Grizzlies +2
The Bulls have struggled tremendously and the Bucks managed to keep the Bulls under 100 points in the last game. What else will help is the fact the Grizzlies have the second best defense in the NBA. I honestly do not know how the Bulls are favored as the Bulls only have 5 wins on the year at home compared to the Grizzlies 9 road wins. I look for the Bulls offense to struggle again in this game and not be able to figure out the Grizzlies defense as the Grizzlies pull off the upset, but I would grab the points no matter what as the score is going to be 102-98 in favor of the Grizzlies.
