"Last Gasp for Glory: Which Play-In Underdogs Will Upset the NBA Powerhouses?"
Mavs and Grizzlies
The Mavericks made light work of the Kings who basically became the Western Conference version of the Bulls. It was clear, Dallas was the better team. The Grizzlies were competitive against the Warriors, but just couldn’t get it done. I’m a little surprised about the line here, but Memphis is really good at home, so I also somewhat understand it. Here are the legs that I will add for this one:ÂÂ
Zach Edey 10+ rebounds
Anthony Davis under 1.5 threesÂÂ
If you’ve watched Edey since Taylor Jenkins has left the team, you’d notice just how involved he has been on the glass. It is almost like someone told him “Hey, you’re freaking huge, go grab the ball.” Novel concept. His rebounding total in April: 94 in six games, plus another 17 against the Warriors in the last game. He had fewer in more or equal games in each month outside of March and February where he had 105, and 101, respectively, in at least five more games. You could probably take over 11.5 or 12.5 if you want and still hit this leg. I’m just being a bit more conservative. Davis hit three of six three-point attempts which I think is the reason this line is offered, normally it is over/under 0.5 makes. For the season, he has made two or more threes in 12 total games. They do tend to come in stretches together, but I prefer the under here.
