Grizzlies Best NBA Prop Bet
Zach Edey finally made his season debut for the Grizzlies after offseason ankle surgery, but the big man is still on a minutes restriction in Memphis. He’s played in two games so far, held to 25 minutes in each contest.
Edey has 13 points and 7 rebounds in his season debut in Cleveland, then 8 points and 11 rebounds on Tuesday in San Antonio.
If Edey were fully healthy, he’d likely breeze past this line, but I’ll take his under here until the Grizzlies give him a little more playing time to work with.
The Grizzlies are back at home after an ugly road trip. They’re now 1-6 on the road, but do have a more respectable 3-5 record at home.
The same can be said for the Kings, who are 2-5 at home but just 1-7 on the road.
This will be the second half of a back-to-back for Sacramento after falling 113-99 in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night. In their last game on no days’ rest, they lost 133-100 to Atlanta at home as just +4 underdogs.
I’ll take the rested Grizzlies at home to snap their losing streak.
Pick: Grizzlies -2.5 (-110)
