Grizzlies vs. Knicks Prediction
The Ja led Grizzlies have been superb on the offensive end, putting up lights-out performances and blockbuster basketball. The Knicks defense, on the other hand has been pretty poor, and hence doesn't stand much of a chance at stopping the high-flying Memphis stars. The Grizzlies should take this one.
