This is a 10* on the OVER

The Bulls and Grizzlies each opened with losses. In both cases, a lot of points were given up. Chicago allowed 126 in a one-point loss to Charlotte where they blew a 10-point fourth quarter advantage. Memphis also played a terrible fourth quarter in its opener in Miami, getting outscored 37-17 on their way to a 120-101 loss. We don't expect much defense in this game. Memphis should shoot better than 42.7%, which is what the Heat held them to Wednesday night. The Bulls allowed Charlotte, who isn't a good team, to shoot 51.1%. They allowed 63 points in both halves. Memphis seemed well on its way to a big scoring night in Miami as they had 60 points by halftime. But the Heat shut them down in the second half. The Bulls shot very well in two games against Memphis last year (over 50%) and won both times. The Grizzlies are 36-25 Over their last 61 non-conference games. With Ja Morant in the fold, they're now a more dynamic team offensive. The Bulls added some pieces too and should be a better offensive team than they were a year ago. Play OVER Chicago-Memphis
