Luke Kennard (Memphis Grizzlies) Over 6.5 Points (-145)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

We're drawing our attention to Luke Kennard in the upcoming Phoenix Suns-Los Angeles Lakers face-off, specifically eyeing the Over 6.5 points marker. Kennard's been warming up, consistently inching past his recent average of 4.2 points. His performance against Phoenix specifically is worthy of note - averaging 6.8 points in his last five outings against the Suns. Now, digging a little deeper, we find that Phoenix has been rather generous to visiting players, allowing them an average of 8.7 points. Kennard, being the opportunist he is, might just take full advantage of that Phoenix hospitality. With an expected stat value of 8.1, the odds are leaning favourably for Kennard to exceed the 6.5 point threshold. So, keep your sights set on Kennard lighting up the scoreboard this Friday.
