I don't know what the Grizzlies did to make Russell so angry but he has DOMINATED this matchup this season, averaging 29.0 points in three games against them and in all three of those games the Timberwolves also had Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns active so there was no usage drain being funneled his way. This matchup tonight has a 239.5 game total with just a 1.5-point spread so Vegas is expecting a close and competitive matchup here between these two teams. Let's ride the trend and look for Russell to continue his dominance here over the Grizzlies.
D'Angelo Russell Points vs Memphis this season.
Over 16.5 Points
Chris Paul is out for what could be the rest of the season for the Suns and with his absence, we see a shift in the offensive game plan for Phoenix. With Paul off the floor, this season Ayton gets not just a big bump in usage rate but his average scoring goes up as well as he averages 0.63 points per minute. That average over his 30 minutes of playing time would give him 18.9 points, well over what we need tonight. The Thunder rank among the worst defensive teams against the center position this season and Ayton already scored 19 points against them in their lone meeting this season. Ayton has also hit the over on this total in three of the last four games. Let's see the big man continue to dominate tonight.
Deandre Ayton L5 Game Point Totals
Over 22.5 Points
I know this matchup isn't the greatest but Portland is in full rebuild mode and they are letting Simons be THE guy right now. He has hit over 22.5 points in four straight games and even in blowout scenarios, he is still seeing over 30-minutes. For the month of February Simons is averaging 24.6 points while shooting 47.1% from the floor and 40.2% from three-point range.
Anfernee Simons L5 Game Point Totals
Over 24.5 Points
The Kings guard has been a scoring machine since returning to the lineup and has gone over tonight's 24.5 point prop in six straight games and eight of the last nine games that he has appeared in. In his lone matchup against Denver this season he scored 30 points and the Nuggets have struggled against point guards this season, allowing the seventh-most points per game to the position.
