Top Player Prop Picks

1. Donovan Mitchell Over 26 Points

Donovan Mitchell has been in great form, averaging 24.3 PPG this month. Against a Grizzlies defense that has struggled recently, Mitchell is poised to exceed his season average.

2. Evan Mobley Over 2 Blocks

Evan Mobley has averaged 2.6 blocks per game this month. With the Grizzlies' high-tempo offense, Mobley should have plenty of opportunities to protect the rim.

3. Desmond Bane Over 22 Points

Desmond Bane has been a consistent scorer for the Grizzlies, averaging over 20 PPG since January. He is expected to play a significant role in Memphis' offense and should surpass 22 points in this matchup.
