Why Memphis Grizzlies are a good bet ATS?
Although Memphis is 1-9 straight up in their last 10, there is a silver lining to how badly they’ve been. The Grizzlies are a terrific 3-0 against the spread in their last 3 games. All 3 games were quality performances. Memphis beat Indiana 106-103 on Jan. 26. They lost by only 3 to Western Conference power Denver 92-95 on Jan. 28. In their last, Minnesota needed overtime to beat the Grizzlies 99-97. Memphis is on an uptrend and should at least cover on Friday. Team Statistics Offense:- Points/G: 100.6

Why Charlotte Hornets are a good bet ATS?
Although the Hornets are 2 games under .500, they’re only a game behind the Miami Heat in the Southeast Division. That makes Charlotte a contender to make the playoffs this season.
The Hornets are a much better team at home than they are on the road. They’ve gone 14-11 ATS at home, meaning they’re not only winning games, but they’re also covering the spread on their home court. Charlotte should come out firing on Friday night.

Grizzlies vs Hornets Final NBA Betting Analysis
On paper, the Hornets should provide an easy win and cover on Feb. 1. A deeper look reveals that the Grizzlies might be an excellent play on the moneyline.
Charlotte just beat Memphis 118-107 as a -1.5 road dog on Jan. 23. Although it will have only been 9 days on Friday since the last game between these two, the Grizzlies have really stepped it up. They beat Indiana, almost took down Denver, and probably should have upset Minnesota on the road.</p:
It’s only a matter of time before Memphis goes on a run and wins two, three, or possibly even four in a row. That run could start on Friday night versus a Hornets team that Boston obliterated by 32 points on Wednesday.
