Under 205.5 (-110)
Scoring and pace have been down across the NBA quite significantly since the all-star break. We’re no longer seeing teams score in the 120s on a nightly basis and only 5 teams in the entire league are averaging 100+ possessions per game over the last 5 games played. Neither Charlotte nor Memphis are close to that number. The Hornets are playing the 16th-fastest pace, while the Grizzlies are all the way down in 26th, averaging just 94.4 possessions per game.
Scoring the basketball has been a struggle for both of these teams and this is going to be a game between the 29th and 30th-ranked offenses in terms of efficiency this season. Memphis is averaging just 107 points scored per 100 possessions, while the Hornets are at a measly 108.4 points. The Grizzlies have failed to crack the 100-point mark in 2 straight games, while the Hornets have done so twice in their last 4. Don’t expect a lot of fireworks on offense in this one.

Miles Bridges over 22.5 points (-113)
Miles Bridges might be the only reliable scoring option on both rosters in this game. He’s averaging 20.3 points per game in his last 10 outings. The good thing with this bet is that his minutes have stayed consistent despite the Hornets tanking the rest of the season. He’s played 39+ minutes in 8 of those 10 games, and if that happens again tonight he should get enough shot attempts to cash the over here. Bridges will be a free agent this summer and there’s no better way to impress potential suitors than to score a ton of points. The last time he played Memphis he finished with 25 on an efficient 11-for-13 from the field. Let’s hope he can repeat that tonight.

Brandon Miller over 4.5 rebounds (-136)
When you have 2 teams struggling to put the ball into the basket, it is natural to assume a high-rebounding game is on the way. Memphis is one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA, allowing 53.9 per game which is the 3rd-highest mark in the entire league. That’s music to the ears of Brandon Miller, who is averaging 5.2 per game over his last 10 outings. He’s cleared this line in 6 straight games, while against Memphis he finished with 6 rebounds in the first meeting of the season. Miller probably won’t be in contention for Rookie of the Year honors — that’ll be decided between Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren. However, if he continues putting up solid numbers like this he will have a case to finish right behind those two guys.
