Our wager in this Tuesday night matchup between the Grizzlies and Pelicans is on less than 229.5 total points to be scored. Both of their previous matchups this season (including Ja Morant’s 34 point comeback) went under 229.5 total points, with the first only hitting 215. The Pelicans have been averaging 116 points at home this season, with the Grizzlies only scoring an average of 106 on the road. These two teams are both ranked top 10 in the NBA in defensive efficiency. Both maintain the same exact pace in the league (102.0). These similarities, along with their status as divisional rivals, should have these teams highly motivated on defense. Each coach is very familiar with the opposing team. Additionally, both teams had three days of rest and got to spend Christmas with their families. The recipe for the under to hit looks to be well in place. Our stake is a half unit.
