Betting Thunder-Grizzlies: Three props that stand out - ESPN

Two of the top teams in the Western Conference play Wednesday night on ESPN when the Oklahoma City Thunder (50-11, 23-7 away) hit the road to face the Memphis Grizzlies (38-23, 22-9 home). Tipoff is set for 9:30 p.m. ET.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is coming off a 51-point showing in a win over Houston on Monday, while the Grizzlies are looking to snap a three-game losing streak. Ja Morant, who has missed the past two games due to a shoulder injury, is listed as questionable for this one.

ESPN BET is offering an array of prop bets for the Thunder-Grizzlies game, and here are betting experts Andre Snellings and Eric Moody with the bets they like most.

Gilgeous-Alexander seems to be making his late-season push for MVP, fresh off a 51-point/7-assist effort against the Rockets. In his last six games, he has averaged 36.0 PPG and 6.8 APG (42.8 total points + assists), up from his season averages of 32.6 PPG and 6.2 APG, while going over 38.5 P+A in four of the six. This will be SGA's third game against the Grizzlies this season, and he's gone over 38.5 P+A in both of the first two (32.5 PPG, 7.5 APG in those two games). — Snellings

Bane has stayed under this line in 15 of his last 20 games despite solid volume, with 15.3 field goal attempts and 10.2 potential assists in 34.5 minutes per game. Now he faces a tough Thunder defense that ranks near the top in limiting both points and assists. He's also gone under in four straight games against OKC, including two this season. With Jaren Jackson Jr. out, his assist numbers could take a hit, and even playing at home hasn't helped as he's fallen short in 20 of 25 games in Memphis. The trends don't favor him in this spot. — Moody
