Walter Clayton Jr. (Memphis Grizzlies) Under 12.5 Points (-103)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Memphis Grizzlies, all eyes will be on Walter Clayton Jr. But let's be real; this matchup might not be the best stage for him to shine. Averaging just over 8 points in recent outings, Clayton has hit the under in 11 of his last 13 games on the road. The Grizzlies' staunch defense presents a formidable challenge, especially for a young player still finding his rhythm in a high-pressure environment. With his current form and the way Memphis has been locking down opposing scorers, it's clear that 12.5 points might be a bridge too far for him this time around. Given that he's been consistently under this mark recently, placing your chips on the under feels like a savvy move. Watch for a gritty performance, but one that likely keeps him below that threshold.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper (Memphis Grizzlies) Under 15.5 Points (-101)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Memphis Grizzlies head to Milwaukee, all eyes will be on Olivier-Maxence Prosper, but betting the under on his points total of 15.5 seems like a savvy play. Sure, he's been scoring an average of 17 points in his last five games, but when you zoom in on his away performances, he drops to just 11.8 points. That's a telling statistic, especially against the Bucks, where he's averaged a mere 5.5 points in their recent matchups.With a solid hit rate of 9 out of his last 14 games and a perfect 3 for 3 on the road, Prosper's scoring tends to dwindle when the pressure rises away from home. The Bucks' defense, known for its ability to stifle opponents, will likely keep him in check. So, while he might be a promising young talent, taking the under on 15.5 points feels like the sharper side of this wager.

Taylor Hendricks (Memphis Grizzlies) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-115)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Memphis Grizzlies head into Milwaukee, all eyes will be on Taylor Hendricks, but I'm leaning toward the Under on his threes made at 1.5. Sure, he's been on a hot streak lately, hitting this mark in four straight games, but let's consider the context. Playing away, Hendricks has found the net just 14 times from beyond the arc in his last 20 outings. The Bucks, known for their defensive prowess, will likely keep a watchful eye on him. With an expected stat value of just 1.13, it seems the odds are stacked against him to surpass that threshold. The way I see it, the matchup favors a tighter defensive approach from Milwaukee, making it tough for Hendricks to find his rhythm. So, while he's got potential, I'm betting he falls short in this clash.
