On Tuesday night, the New Orleans Pelicans head to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies in a matchup of exciting, young squads.

Neither squad has been great against the spread (ATS) this season, but the Grizzlies come in confident after a 14-point win over the Kings in which they were 1.5-point road dogs.

Meanwhile, the Pelicans have lost three straight games by double-digits, two in which they were favorites.

Despite the Pelicans' current troubles and the majority support for the Grizzlies on Tuesday night, our PRO Report suggests that sharp bettors don't see eye-to-eye with the public on this game, making the Pelicans the side to consider.

Let's take a closer look.

NBA Picks: Pelicans vs. Grizzlies 

PRO Report Pelicans Grizzlies

Sharp Action

The line for this exciting matchup opened up at Pelicans +1.5 before sharp action caused spread movement.

An Action Labs Bet Signal on the Pelicans confirmed the sharp action at +1, which caused the market to shift to a pick'em.

Big Money

Another surefire indicator of sharp action on the New Orleans side is the money disparity. The 44% Pelicans bettors are generating 74% of the money wagered on Tuesday night's game.

The fact that a Pelicans team on a losing streak is drawing the bigger bets is a sign that sharps have already decided who is the right pick in what should be a close contest.

PRO Systems

Our PRO Systems support the sharp action on the Pelicans side as well.

Due to the huge bets vs. money split for Tuesday's Pelicans-Grizzlies game, it fits into our NBA Tickets vs. Money PRO System, which has a 56% ATS win rate and a 9% return on investment since 2015 (when we began collecting money percentage data).
