Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Raptors head to Memphis, all eyes will be on Scottie Barnes, but don't be surprised if his stat line falls short of expectations. With a total set at 15.5 for rebounds and assists combined, the numbers suggest a potential dip. Recently, Barnes has averaged 12.68 in this category, and his away performances have been even less impressive, logging just 9.6 assists and rebounds against tough competition.In his last five games against the Grizzlies, he's managed 6.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists, but when playing away, those numbers drop significantly. With an away hit rate of just 75% in his last 12 games, there's a strong case to be made for the under here. The Grizzlies are a formidable opponent, and with Barnes's recent form trending downward, it's wise to lean into this prop bet for a more conservative outcome.

As the Memphis Grizzlies gear up to host the Toronto Raptors, all eyes will be on Jamal Shead, but not for the reasons you might think. While the spotlight often shines on scoring, let's focus on his assist numbers, particularly the under on 7.5. Shead has been hitting the under consistently, boasting an impressive 14 out of 16 away games where he's come in below that mark. With the Raptors' defense tightening up, they've allowed only 21 assists per game in their last few outings. In fact, recent trends show that Shead's expected stat value hovers around 6.04, indicating he may not quite meet that assist threshold tonight. Given the stakes and defensive schemes at play, this matchup feels primed for him to struggle in distributing the ball. Taking the under on Shead's assists could be a savvy move for bettors looking to capitalize on these compelling trends.
