Grizzlies vs Nets Predictions, Betting Analysis
Day'Ron Sharpe and Nic Claxton should be in prime position to produce against the Grizzlies tonight, but I like Day'Ron's upside a tad more.
Sharpe has gone over 17.5 Points & Rebounds in 5-of-7 games without MPJ, averaging over 20 minutes during that stretch.
The Grizzlies have no centers left; none.
GG Jackson doesn't typically rebound like a true center, and he will handle a healthy amount of frontcourt minutes.
Neither does Olivier-Maxence Prosper, who typically doesn't play center either.
Pick: Day'Ron Sharpe Over 17.5 Points & Rebounds (-115)
