Is Memphis better team minus Ja Morant? His disruptive presence hasn't been missed the current 5-1 Grizzlies run; Morant has been out since November 15 due to a calf strain. Playing at a more controlled pace minus Morant, the Griz have hit a sweet spot, and ex-Purdue big Zach Edey scoring 32 on Sunday in the win at Sacto suggests he's become a new integral part of the offense. As such, Memphis will try to get Edey the ball down low in halfcourt sets, potentially slowing the pace. As for the Spurs, still no Wemby or Stephon Castle, two of their top three scorers, and note the meeting two weeks ago at Frost Bank Center landed only on 212 points (111-101 SA). Play Grizzlies-Spurs Under

FanDuel. Jaren Jackson Jr. is under this line in 17 of 19 games in regulation this season, including six of seven without Ja Morant. With Zach Edey taking a more prominent role offensively, this is a tough spot for Jackson. The Spurs have maintained their paint defense without Victor Wembanyama (3rd fewest points allowed), and 55% of Jackson’s made baskets are within 10 feet. He’s a capable outside shooter (36% from three), but his volume from long range ebbs and flows. Overall, Jackson’s usage rate of 24% is down from 27% last season as the Grizzlies have tried to implement a more balanced offense. I’d bet this down to under 28.5 PRA.

FanDuel. Dylan Harper has cleared this player prop line in eight of his nine games played. Working his way back from a multi-week injury, he was up to 20 minutes in his last game against the Timberwolves. Harper is averaging 11 points per just 18 minutes per game - so we don’t necessarily need more minutes, however I do expect the Spurs to continue to ramp up the rookie. I’d bet this up to over 11.5 points (risking one unit).
