Jamal Shead (Toronto Raptors) Under 7.5 Assists (-145)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Toronto Raptors gear up to face the Memphis Grizzlies, all eyes will be on Jamal Shead's assist total, particularly the under at 7.5. Playing away, Shead's recent form shows he's been held under this mark in 14 of his last 16 road games. That's a striking trend, especially considering he's averaging just over 6 assists per game lately. The Raptors defense has a knack for stifling playmakers, making it tough for Shead to find his rhythm. With an expected stat value of around 6.02, it's clear the numbers are aligning against him. Plus, let's not forget that in his last 20 games, he's only managed to hit the over 25% of the time. With these factors in play, betting the under seems like a savvy move for this matchup.

Scottie Barnes (Toronto Raptors) Under 15.5 Rebounds + Assists (-101)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Scottie Barnes has been an impressive player for the Raptors, but heading into this matchup against the Grizzlies, the numbers suggest a different story. While he's been averaging a solid 12.2 assists over his last five games, his away performance tells a more cautious tale. On the road, he's dropping to just 9.6 assists, and when facing Memphis, that number dips even further to 5.2 assists per game. His rebounding numbers also provide a hint that he may struggle to hit that 15.5 combined mark. Averaging just 5.8 rebounds away and a mere 6 against Memphis, it's clear he might not be in the best position to pile up those stats. With a recent hit rate of 9 out of his last 12 away games indicating more subdued performances, betting the under on Barnes feels like the savvy play here.

Scottie Barnes (Toronto Raptors) Under 34.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-109)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Raptors face off against the Grizzlies, Scottie Barnes presents an intriguing case for the Under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists line set at 34.5. While he's had some standout moments, recent outings reveal a trend that's hard to ignore. Averaging just 14.8 points, 5 rebounds, and 12.2 assists over his last five games, he's struggled to hit those high numbers consistently. His away performance mirrors this, with averages of 13.2 points and only 9.6 assists. Against Memphis, he's seen a slight uptick in scoring but still hovers around 19.8 points per game, a far cry from the mark needed for the Over. The pressure of playing away in a tough environment tends to squeeze his production. With a remarkable 13 of his last 14 away games hitting the Under, it seems wise to lean into this trend and bet against Barnes surpassing 34.5
