Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies: Betting tips

Jaren Jackson Jr. has an NBA prop of 19.5 points due to his increased scoring duty.

He has only reached that mark three times in the last five games, but with the defense of Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns, JJJ should have a tough time reaching the mark.

The NBA prop given to Anthony Edwards is 25.5 games, and he has gone over only two times in the last five games. With the lackluster roster of the Grizzlies, he should easily go over unless an early blowout happens.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been going over four out of five games while the Memphis Grizzlies are having trouble getting over.

This game should have the Timberwolves dictate the pace and the total should go over. Meanwhile, this is going to be a blowout, so the spread of seven points should be covered.
