This rematch is worth your attention after the last meeting. On November 2, the Pelicans beat the Grizzlies 135-134, a one-point finish that left plenty of bettors staring at their screens. DarkHorse had Memphis -6.5 that night, and the pick missed. A game that close is a reminder that the margin is the most dangerous number in this sport.

Now the Grizzlies head to New Orleans on November 13 looking to even the score. The Pelicans get the home floor and the comfort of knowing their last win over Memphis came down to the final possession.

DarkHorse has not published a pick for this game yet, so there's no official side to chase. What we can say is that two teams that just finished separated by a single point have every reason to make this one tight again.

Before you lock anything in, check the official injury report and lineup news. We're not guessing at availability, and you shouldn't either. Keep your stakes disciplined, shop your number, and remember that the line that looks safe is often the one that bites.

Grizzlies at Pelicans tips off 8:00 PM ET. Memphis is 7-4, New Orleans is 4-8, so the records point one way. Last meeting this season the Pelicans won 135-134, so it was close.

Records are nice. One point decided the last one though. Close games stay close.

Both rosters are thin. Memphis is without Post, Edey and Scotty Pippen Jr., and New Orleans is down Murray, McGowens and Missi. Reminds me of the 2004 Pistons, where nobody needed a superstar to get stops.

Fair point. Both teams are missing three players, so the depth question mostly evens out.
