Memphis Grizzlies vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

The Chicago Bulls get the benefit of the doubt because they are at home and looked good defensively in their preseason opener. However, with NBA playing experience up and down the roster, I still see value in scoring points in preseason games with the Grizzlies. In a preseason game where so many guys are seeing playing time, it's worth scoring points with a team that has a number of guys who have seen real NBA minutes. I'll take the few buckets with the Grizzlies.
