Memphis Grizzlies vs Minnesota Timberwolves starting lineups

The Memphis Grizzlies have seven players on their injury report, and all are possibly out. Coach Taylor Jenkins is probably used to it by now, so his likely starting five will feature Ziaire Williams, GG Jackson II, Vince Williams Jr., Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson Jr.

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves have three players on their injury report, including at least one starter, Karl-Anthony Towns. Anthony Edwards could be questionable, as he sprained his left ankle on Tuesday.

If Towns and Edwards are unavailable, coach Chris Finch could use a starting lineup of Mike Conley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Monte Morris, Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Minnesota Timberwolves betting tips

If Anthony Edwards is available, he has an over/under of 27.5 points for Wednesday's game.

Edwards has scored at least 28 points in his last five games, so bet on him to continue the trend. However, you can take a risk and bet on him to go under since the game could be over pretty quickly and he sits early.

Jaren Jackson Jr. is favored to go over 23.5 points, which is higher than his season average of 22.3 points per game. He has gone over 23.5 twice in his last five contests. Take the risk, and bet under, as Jackson will face Rudy Gobert all game.

Gobert, meanwhile, has an over/under of 13.5 rebounds against the Memphis Grizzlies. Bet on him to grab more than 13.5 rebounds because he has had at least 14 rebounds thrice in his last four games.
