The New York Knicks (5-4) will take on the Memphis Grizzlies (3-6) on Thursday, and this NBA game is one of the more interesting clashes on the schedule to wager on.
The Knicks and the Grizzlies will tip off at 8:00 PM ET, and the betting odds on which team will come out on top have shifted quite a bit in the hours since being released.
The road-team Knicks debuted as 1-point favorites, but that line was almost instantly corrected by savvy bettors.
The Grizzlies now sit at -4.5 on the spread, while the total of 194 hasn’t shifted at all since debuting.
New York is garnering close to 60% of tracked bets on the spread odds, making this early line move a bit of a head scratcher.
New York was a 120-99 winner as a 5-point favorite during the last meeting they hosted, while the Knicks also won 110-108 as 4.5-point underdogs the last time these two teams played in Memphis.
The Grizzlies have covered the spread odds in just 1 of the last 6 head-to-head meetings with New York, and the over has been a winner in 4 straight clashes.
