Memphis Grizzlies 1Q ML (-110) vs. Miami Heat

Memphis is on the second leg of a back-to-back, but that's not going to stop me from firing off on them to handle their business at home in the first 12 minutes vs. Miami.

Only the Boston Celtics have a better overall net rating (+25.8) at home in the 1st quarter than the Grizz (+24.3) so far this season, while the heat rank in the bottom 10 in the league in the early going; coming in 20th in 1Q net rating on the road (-6.7).

The Heat have also not taken advantage of playing against teams when they have the rest advantage, going just 1-3-0 ATS this year. The Grizzlies have also been terrific at home ATS, going 7-3-0 with the third-best ATS +/- in the league at +5.2 -- Ben Heisler

Klay Thompson UNDER 27.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-115)

The Warriors are down Andrew Wiggins against the Indiana Pacers on Monday, but I still think this number is too high for guard Klay Thompson. 

Klay is averaging just 17.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game this season, and with Tyrese Haliburton out for the Pacers, this could be a blowout in Golden State’s favor, leading to less minutes for Klay. 

The sharpshooter has cleared this line just four times all season, scoring more than 25 points in three of those games. Unless Klay has a huge scoring night, he’s likely to fall short of this line. 

I’ll take my chances on this being more of a normal game for the Warriors star. – Peter Dewey
