Memphis Grizzlies Ja Morant vs. Washington Wizards
The Bet: Over 28.5 Points+Assists (-115)
Nba Props For Tonight Games
In just his second season in the league, Ja Morant is becoming the Memphis Grizzlies leader. The reigning Rookie of the Year leads the team with 18.4 points and 7.7 assists per game and appears to be getting better and better. Morant has 20-plus points in five of his past ten and has averaged over 24 a night in those games. The Grizzlies point guard also has seven games of seven-plus assists over his past ten and has average nine dimes a game over that span, including a triple-double against the Thunder.
During his sophomore season, Morant has improved his points and assists numbers as well as field-goal attempts, three-point attempts, and free throws. With six double-doubles on the season, the 21-year-old is on pace to pass his 15 double-doubles from his freshman year. He’s put up many of his top games against much stronger defenses than Washington.
The Wizards are giving up the second-most points in the league, allowing almost 120 a game. Washington is also in the bottom-ten in three-pointers allowed, opponent’s field goal and three-point percentage, and free throws made. Morant gets to the line over five times a game and shoots nearly 80 percent from the charity stripe.
Memphis is a -1 point road favorite while the Moneyline is razor-thin at -116 and -102 for Washington. The FanDuel Sportsbook’s total is at a chubby 235.5, so expect this one to be a shootout with the Grizzlies having to score to keep up with the give and take Wizards.

Atlanta Hawks John Collins vs. Miami Heat
The Bet: Under 18.5 Points (-118)
John Collins has seen his scoring average down from his past two seasons. The Hawks big man is averaging just over 18 a game after 19.5 and 21.6 PPG in his past two seasons. Collins is taking the fewest shots per game since his rookie season three years ago and is playing nearly three minutes less than he was last season.
Best Nba Player Props Today
The 23-year-old forward is actually coming off his second-highest scoring performance of the year, hanging 34 on the Heat on Sunday. His big game against Miami is actually a good thing as the Heat are not the type of defense that will get lit up twice in a row. The South Beach bunch are giving up the sixth-fewest points in the league, allowing 109.3 per game. They also excel on the defensive end, where Collins plays well on offense. Miami is the league’s top-team defending the paint, giving up just over 40 points per game. Bam Adebayo’s defense is also top-ten in limiting opponents’ two-point field goal percentage to only 51.9 percent. Expect the D to shutdown Collins after he went off on them on Sunday.
Nba Prop Bets Tonight
The Hawks are a +3.5 point road dog with a +136 Moneyline, so Atlanta could hang around in this one. FanDuel’s Sportsbook has the middle-ground total at 222, balancing Miami’s solid defense with the Hawks’ poor D.
