Thunder G Dennis Schroder

The Pick: Under 14.5 points (-105)

Schroder has been a nice addition for the Thunder this season, but he’s in a brutal spot today vs. the Memphis Grizzlies. They’ve played at the slowest pace in the league and rank sixth in defensive efficiency, which is a bad formula for scoring.

The Grizzlies have also allowed fewer points per 100 possessions with Gasol off the court this season, so removing him from the lineup could actually have a positive impact on their defense.

This line feels a touch too high given the matchup. I like the under up to -120.

Raptors PF Pascal Siakam

The Pick: Over seven rebounds (+110)

The Raptors made a big move at the trade deadline, grabbing Marc Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies for Jonas Valanciunas, CJ Miles, and Delon Wright. That said, Gasol will not be available for tonight’s contest vs. the Raptors, which leaves them pretty shorthanded in the frontcourt.

Siakam should be one of the biggest beneficiaries. He’s projected for 35 minutes in the FantasyLabs NBA Models, and Siakam has averaged 7.9 rebounds per 36 minutes.

The Hawks are also a great matchup for rebounding purposes: They play at the fastest pace in the league, which should result in more rebounding opportunities than usual.

I love getting this prop at better than even money but would be willing to play it up to -130.
