As Victor Wembanyama takes the floor against the Memphis Grizzlies, there's a compelling case for targeting him to fall under 12.5 rebounds. While his towering presence often commands attention, recent trends suggest a more modest output. Averaging just 11.2 rebounds over his last five games, and specifically only 7.2 when playing away against the Grizzlies, it's clear that this matchup poses challenges for him on the boards.Memphis is gritty and known for their physical style, which could further limit Wemby's opportunities. Historically, he's hit the under in 7 of his last 9 games, showcasing a consistent pattern. With an expected stat value hovering around 11.18 and an away hit rate of 10 out of the last 14 games, it seems prudent to bank on Wembanyama not eclipsing that 12.5 mark tonight. This game could see him focused more on defense than dominating the glass.
Olivier-Maxence Prosper (Memphis Grizzlies) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-159)

When the Memphis Grizzlies host the San Antonio Spurs, all eyes will be on Olivier-Maxence Prosper and his ability from beyond the arc. However, the data suggests we should lean towards the under on his threes made. Over the last five games, Prosper has averaged just 1.2 threes, and notably, he's struggled against the Spurs, failing to hit a single three in their last five meetings. At home, while he's managed to convert 2 per game on average, the trend against this specific opponent is alarming-he hasn't made any threes against San Antonio in that span. With a solid hit rate overall, Prosper is still expected to fall short of 1.5 tonight, especially given the Spurs' defensive schemes. Betting the under provides a sensible angle, considering the context and his recent struggles. It's a strategic play in a game that could see him focus more on driving to the basket than stretching the floor.
Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-128)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
In the upcoming clash between the Memphis Grizzlies and the San Antonio Spurs, targeting the under on Victor Wembanyama's three-pointers makes a lot of sense. Sure, he's shown flashes of brilliance, but let's dig into the numbers. Over his last five games, he's been averaging just 1.6 threes, and on the road, that drops to a mere 1.4. While he's had some success against the Grizzlies historically, hitting 2.2 threes on average, those numbers take a hit when you consider he averages only 1.8 when playing in Memphis. Plus, with his recent away games, he's hit the under in 11 straight outings. Given these trends, it seems far more likely we'll see Wembanyama struggle to find his rhythm from beyond the arc in this matchup. Embrace the under on 2.5 threes-it's a smart play supported by solid data.
