Scottie Barnes (Toronto Raptors) Under 10.5 Assists (-323)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Toronto Raptors hit the road to face the Memphis Grizzlies, all eyes will be on Scottie Barnes, but perhaps not in the way you'd think. Despite his recent surge in assists, averaging an impressive 12.2 over the last five games, there's a compelling case for taking the under on his 10.5 assist line. Barnes has struggled to replicate that success away from home, dipping to about 9.6 assists in similar situations. Against the Grizzlies, his numbers drop even further, with an average of just 5.2 assists in their last five encounters. The Grizzlies' defense is no joke, and with their ability to clamp down on playmakers, it's reasonable to expect Barnes to be held in check. With a robust 76.3% implied probability backing this line, the under feels like a wise move as he navigates a tough road matchup.

Scottie Barnes (Toronto Raptors) Under 19.5 Rebounds + Assists (-345)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Raptors head into Memphis, all eyes will be on Scottie Barnes, but it might be wise to bet against him hitting over 19.5 combined rebounds and assists. While Barnes has been a solid contributor, averaging 12.2 assists over his last five, his away performances tell a different story-he's pulling down just 5.8 boards and dishing out 9.6 assists on the road. Against the Grizzlies, who excel at boxing out, he averages a mere 6 rebounds and 5.2 assists in their last five matchups away, well under our target. With an impressive 18 of his last 20 outings hitting under this mark, and a staggering 16 out of 17 away games, it's clear the trend favors the under. The odds are stacked against Barnes exceeding this threshold, making the under a savvy play for Saturday's contest.

As the Toronto Raptors gear up to face the Memphis Grizzlies, all eyes should be on Scottie Barnes, particularly when it comes to his rebounding numbers. With an average of just 5.8 boards in away games recently, Barnes seems to be in a tough spot against a Grizzlies team that isn't easy to rebound against. Over his last five games, he's only eclipsed the 10.5 mark once, averaging 5 overall rebounds. Even more telling is his track record against Memphis-he's been held to around 6 rebounds in their matchups. Given that he's consistently fallen short of this threshold with a 100% hit rate for the Under in his last 20 games, including 12 straight away, it feels prudent to back the Under 10.5 rebounds for Barnes in this matchup. The numbers are stacking up favorably, and the narrative suggests he'll struggle to hit that mark against a formidable Grizzlies squad.
