Grizzlies Best NBA Prop Bet
Zion Williamson has been in and out of the lineup for the Pelicans this season, but he tied a season-high with 29 points on 8 of 14 shooting in Monday night’s win over the Bulls.
Williamson is now averaging 22.4 points through eight games this season, going over his points prop in five of those outings.
The big man had 27 points in Memphis back on October 22 when his line was set at 24.5. I’ll take him to get close to 30 points again against the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies took down the Pelicans 128-122 back on October 22, and that’s the way I’m looking in this one.
It’d be surprising if the Pelicans can string two wins together, even if Ja Morant is missing for Memphis. The Grizzlies should be able to take care of business in this NBA Cup Group Play matchup on Wednesday night.
Pick: Grizzlies Moneyline (-135)
