Trey Murphy over 0.5 blocks (-143) at Memphis Grizzlies
BetRivers, 12:52 PM CT
Alex Barutha: Murphy is one of the better shot-blocking forwards in the NBA, and he's playing huge minutes lately. Over his past five games, he's averaging 1.2 blocks in 39.0 minutes (not to mention 25.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.6 steals). The Grizzlies get their shots blocked all the time, thanks largely to Jaren Jackson and Desmond Bane, who have been blocked a combined 87 times this season. Overall, Memphis is being blocked 6.6 times per 48 minutes over the past 10 games -- the most in the league. During those 10 games, other forwards have had nice block totals, including Amen Thompson (3), Jaden McDaniels (2), Klay Thompson (2) and Trey Lyles (2).
Jerami Grant over 2.5 threes (+158) at Charlotte Hornets
FanDuel, 12:43 PM CT
Alex Barutha: You know it's a slow day in the NBA when I'm targeting Jerami Grant for a player prop. Still, this is a quality spot for him. Charlotte is a similarly-bad team and relatively banged up, so Portland are just 5.5-point underdogs on the road on the second night of a back-to-back. Grant has finally worked his way back up to a normal workload following about three weeks of missed games. When Grant plays 30+ minutes this season, he's averaging 2.8 made threes on 39.6 3P%. The Hornets aren't great closing out to the three-point line, as they're allowing the fourth-most wide-open threes per game (22.5) across their past 10 matchups. During those 10 games, they've allowed 12 players to hit at least three triples.
Jarrett Allen over 11.5 rebounds (+112) at Philadelphia 76ers
FanDuel, 5:00 PM CT
Nick Whalen: The Cavs are still down Evan Mobley, and the Sixers -- believe it or not -- will not have Joel Embiid, while Andre Drummond also remains out. Without Embiid, Philly has been among the worst rebounding teams in the NBA. Over the last 10 games, Philly ranks 28th in both offensive and defensive rebound rate. A blowout is a significant concern here, but as long as Philly can make this somewhat of a game, I'll take the bait on Allen at plus money.
