The Knicks will be shorthanded again with Julius Randle and OG Anunoby out. Isaiah Hartenstein has at least 14 combined rebounds and assists in each of the last three games without them. Going back even further, he has at least 14 combined rebounds and assists in 11 of his last 15 games. This is a favorable matchup for him, given that the Grizzlies have allowed the third-most rebounds per game in the league. The last time he faced them, Hartenstein had 20 rebounds and two assists. Take the over.

Maybe now it's catching up to the Grizzlies, being without top guns Ja Morant and Desmond Bane. For a while, Memphis was holding its own minus them both, but in the current five-game skid, the results have been getting progressively worse with the last two losses especially humbling (20 vs. the Warriors and 40 vs. the Celtics). Meanwhile not really a sell sign on the Knicks because the Lakers ended their nine-game win streak on Saturday. Julius Randle remains out, and OG Anonoby is slated to miss another game tonight, but the exploits of Jalen Brunson (34 ppg the past five games) have more than kept the Knicks afloat as they have still won 14 of 17 (13-4 vs. line). Play Knicks

Precious Achiuwa has found a new role for the surging Knicks after being included in the deal that brought OG Anunoby to to New York. Due to injuries in New York's frontcourt Achiuwa is being thrust into playing heavy minutes in New Yorks rotation. While he's been logging monster minutes, Achiuwa isn't a high output performer. The Knicks are big favorites over a Memphis squad missing essentially their entire team, however theyre still a solid defensive team, play at a slow pace, are stingy against opposing bigs, and there is some major blowout potential here as well.
