Best NBA Bets and Player Props

Grizzlies Moneyline (-120) Over Timberwolves

This series has been everything that fans and bettors could ask for. It has been extremely exciting, fast paced and dramatic. The last two games have been decided by a bucket, including Memphis’ 111-109 victory on Tuesday after trailing by 11 heading into the fourth. Ja Morant scored 18 of his game-high 30 points in the final stanza, while Desmond Bane and Brandon Clarke added 25 and 21 points, respectively. Expect another fantastic game tonight.

The Grizzlies have won five of the nine meetings against the Timberwolves and six of those games have been decided by single digits. Memphis, one of the league’s best road teams, has shot the ball better than Minnesota, and they surprisingly have slung it better at the Target Center than at home. The Grizzlies have shot 45.6% from the field and 42% from beyond the arc while averaging 14.5 3-pointers a game in Minnesota. The Grizzlies have also defended decently well this entire series as they frustrated D’Angelo Russell into just 32.3% shooting from the field. Plus, Bane and Clarke have far exceeded expectations for the series.

Memphis has really been great at forcing turnovers and hitting the glass. The Grizzlies have forced 19 turnovers a game — five per game coming from Karl-Anthony Towns — and have a plus-3.6 turnover differential. They also have out-rebounded Minnesota by four, including 11.8 to 7.2 on the offensive end. However, defending the 3-point line, foul shooting and limiting turnovers will be key for Memphis.

Memphis has been excellent after a two-day break this season. The Grizzlies have won both games this series following two days’ rest by an average of 15 points and are 14-4 for the season in such situations. Meanwhile, the Wolves are 7-8 on the season following two days off.
