Best Bets The Kings visit the Memphis Grizzlies to close out 2024 and this sets up to be a tough matchup for Domantas Sabonis. Sabonis has struggled in head-to-head matchups against Jaren Jackson Jr and has never scored 20+ points in seven games while averaging just 13.9 points per game. Additionally, the Grizzlies present a unique difficulty for Centers. Due to the Grizzlies having Bismack Biyombo to patrol the paint, they have an anchor on the interior which then allows Jaren Jackson Jr to act as a floater and provide help defense as needed. The Grizzlies stifled Alperen Sengun to just 11, 9, and 15 points against them this season and stylistically him and Sabonis have a similar offensive game. It has flown under the radar a bit because of Memphis’ struggles this season without Ja Morant, but they have the eighth-best Adjusted Defensive Rating in the league, and it’s trended up a bit with Morant because they’ve been able to play fewer defensive sets in transition. I expect the Grizzlies to give Sabonis some difficulty tonight, and will take him to go under his points prop.
