@KeepTheJuice21's NBA Best Bets - 2/24

There’s no excuses today, every team is well rested and has had plenty of time to prep for the game. The Hawks will be missing John Collins for the 5 th straight game, which hurts them but the team has managed well without him. His absence is a big pro in the Bulls column as he would likely spend most of the game guarding Zach Lavine.

We can also look back at the previous two matchups this season where the Bulls won both by 12 and 14 points. The Hawks were missing Collins in both of those as well, and couldn’t handle the Lavine Derozen combo attack. I see this one playing out in a very similar way in Chicago.

I will continue to ride the Grizzlies until they give me a good reason not to. They’ve been one of the best teams against the spread this year, and even better as the away team, covering in 22 of 30 games. In the last matchup Ja Morant had a really difficult shooting night, going 0-7 from 3 and 5-16 overall, but the supporting cast got the job done, supplying 48 points from the bench.

Minnesota had a totally different game but not an unusual one for them, 84 combined points from Edwards, Towns and Russell and only 13 bench points. The point is the Grizzlies are a deep team and can make up if their star has an off night. And if he doesn’t, we all know how Morant can take over a game.
