The key matchup here is simply which team cares more about showing up. The Bulls have dropped seven of their last ten, including a brutal 125-117 loss to the Warriors where DeMar DeRozan's 39 points still weren't enough. Memphis, meanwhile, is coming off a surprising 106-102 road win against the Wizards, fueled by GG Jackson's 35 points and seven boards. They've been a little feisty lately, even with a depleted roster. I'm taking the Grizzlies to win this one at home, 108-103. They've got just enough young talent playing with a chip on their shoulder to outwork a slumping Bulls squad.
