This has volume play written all over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Memphis is actually one of the top teams at defending 3-point land, holding opponents to 33.9% shooting (fourth in the NBA) from outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the Grizzlies play fast, which leads to more <em>total<\/em> attempted 3s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Opponents are firing 39.6 shots per game beyond the arc, which is the fourth-most in the league.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Non-corner 3s are what the Grizzlies are most willing to allow, which makes sense because it&#8217;s a less efficient shot. Opponents are attempting 30.8% of all shots from a non-corner 3-point area, which is the fourth-highest in the NBA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>That&#8217;s where Tatum comes in. He ranks in the 91st percentile of non-corner 3s attempted, per Cleaning The Glass.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If Memphis opts to defend the interior and\/or the corners more thoroughly, Tatum should take his opportunities to let it fly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s been a theme this season for the MVP hopeful, anyway. He&#8217;s averaging career highs in average makes (4.0) and attempts (10.5) from deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Tatum has cashed this bet in 11 of his past 15 games. He also has an 0-for-10 performance from 3-point range in that span, which shows he&#8217;ll keep shooting even on a down night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fa134a48-a478-432b-95e0-66881f0d337b\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Duren under 8.5 rebounds (+100)<\/strong>: If you&#8217;re a centre facing the New York Knicks, good luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karl-Anthony Towns anchors the group at the five, but he gets ample help when needed from guys like OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collectively, the Knicks allow the fewest rebounds per game to their opponents. And according to Betting Pros, they also allow the fewest rebounds centres in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duren has hit this under in five of his past seven games. When he faced the Knicks on Nov. 1, he finished with seven rebounds .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Morant under 4.5 rebounds (-108)<\/strong>: Morant was a strong rebounder in each of the previous three seasons, but his volume is way down this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s tough to tell if that&#8217;ll continue, but I&#8217;m willing to take a shot at this price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Morant is averaging 4.0 rebounds\/game in 13 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s finished u4.5 rebounds in six straight games, collecting with three or fewer rebounds in five straight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>Picks made at 9:10 a.m. ET on 12\/07\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m fading one star and tailing another in Saturday&#8217;s Memphis Grizzlies vs. Boston Celtics matchup.
