Grizzlies vs. Jazz pick against the spread, best player prop for Game 2

Grizzlies vs. Jazz, 10:00 p.m. ET, TNT

Pick ATS: Grizzlies -9.5

Memphis won by three points when Utah didn’t have Mitchell, so this is quite a big point-spread swing. Mitchell is an All-Star and makes a difference for the Jazz on offense and defense, but he hasn’t played since April 16 because of an ankle injury.

Anderson isn’t running the offense as often as he did when Ja Morant got injured earlier this year, but his playmaking is trending in the right direction in May.
