Tracking the best teams against the spread (ATS) can be a pretty good predictor for who is a dark-horse threat to make the NBA Finals. Take last year, for example, when the Suns were the second-best ATS team in the regular season and then made the Finals. Or the Heat the year before that, when they were the fourth-best ATS team and also made it.

Well guess who is the best ATS team this season at a sparkling 37-19? That’s right, the Memphis Grizzlies!

Listed with +2500 to win the NBA Championship at WynnBET, the Grizzlies’ NBA Championship odds are a fantastic value bet.

The Case For The Grizzlies’ NBA Championship Odds

At 38-13, Memphis currently sits third in the Western Conference Standings with the 5th-best offensive rating and 7th-best defensive rating in the league. They’ve also got this guy:

Ja Morant has been unbelievable this season, flying up the MVP leaderboards and averaging 26.5 points, 6.8 assists, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game on over 49% shooting with at least one jaw-dropping highlight a night.

With Desmond Bane, Dillon Brooks and Ziaire Williams flanking Morant on the outside, Memphis has a deep team full of shooters that can make life miserable for defenses.

On the other end, Jaren Jackson Jr. has been a savant and currently has the 4th-best odds to win Defensive Player of the Year. And with Steven Adams around to provide a veteran presence amongst a cabal of fiery youngsters, the sky is the limit.

The Grizzlies are afraid of no one and that fearlessness will help them in the playoffs. We saw that on full display when they took down Stephen Curry and the Warriors in the play-in game last year, and after losing to the Jazz in the first round you can bet they’re starving for another opportunity.

At this stage in the season we’re looking for value with our futures bets. And there’s just no reason for Memphis to be +2500 when they’ve shown the entire year how good they are. They’re below the Lakers for crying out loud! That’s utter nonsense. Don’t be surprised if they win the whole thing behind Morant and a roster that compliments each other perfectly.

Give me the Grizzlies +2500 to win the Finals as I continue to enjoy every ounce of trash talk, every high-flying dunk and every victory.

Head on over to WynnBET to get your hands on the Grizzlies’ NBA Championship odds now before the number has a chance to go down. The world won’t be sleeping on the Grizzlies much longer.
