Grizzlies vs. Nets Odds & Betting Predictions - November 5, 2024

Read full writeup on X: https://x.com/PicksOffice Nets struggle with shooting, scoring just 92 points against Detroit. Missing key players like Simmons and Claxton could hurt spacing and rebounding, impacting offensive flow, especially on back-to-back games. Grizzlies' defense is strong, holding recent opponents under points, with Jackson Jr. anchoring the paint. Memphis, missing Bane and Smart, favors a slower, paint-focused offense, setting up a lower-scoring tempo.

When Simmons is out he is the main facilitator of the ball Even with Simmons he is averaging 13 potential assists and 8 APG this season He has played 1 game without Simmons and saw his potential assists sky rocket to 23 as he recorded 14 assists Played the Grizzles recently with Simmons in the lineup and recorded 8 assists in that game

Would have LOVED at 11.5 but still like this. Talked about it on Buckets briefly

Morant missed this line in his last game against Brooklyn but it’s still just too low. He had more than enough volume with 16 FGAs but shot just 31% from the field. Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart remain out. Over his last 10 games without Bane, he is averaging 26.7 ppg. Brooklyn has one of the league’s worst defenses and I fully expect Memphis to speed them up and attack them in transition. I’m grabbing Morant to exceed 21.5 points.
