Expert picks & predictions for Sunday’s Grizzlies vs. Cavaliers game

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Under 249.5 points between the Cavs and Grizzlies:

"There isn't much data to support an Under here besides that this is the first meeting of the season between the two and perhaps Jaren Jackson, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen make life difficult for anyone who drives to the paint. This is such a high number that not much as to go wrong in order to cash the Under, so I lean that way (Under 249.5)."
