Grizzlies vs. Thunder Odds & Betting Predictions - December 19, 2023

Chet has been a monster on the defensive side of the ball this season and is coming off a monster 9 block performance against the Denver Nuggets. Chet is averaging 2.7 blocks per game on the season, but he’s gotten his bearings a bit more of late and he has exceeded 2.5 blocks in 7 of his last 10 games. Tonight, he faces off against Jaren Jackson Jr and the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies play at a moderate Pace but they have the worst Offensive Rating in the league, per @bball_ref. They are a team that takes a lot of 3s but they are neither a great 3 point shooting team nor are they good finishers at the rim. Memphis as a team is getting blocked the most times per game of any team (6.8). Defensive minded Centers have feasted in this matchup as well, with Rudy Gobert blocking 6 shots just a week ago and Walker Kessler, Anthony Davis, and even Kristaps Porzingis each recording 6 block games. Chet should dominate on the interior here, and I expect him to clear the 2.5 blocks in this contest
