Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies are currently cruising along smoothly, maintaining their third place in the Western Conference with a solid 25-15 record. While it’s unfortunate that Morant is no longer in the MVP race due to off-court incidents and injuries, his electrifying style continues to dazzle. His season averages stand at 21.4 points per game, albeit with a career-low shooting efficiency of .442. Notably, Morant shines during split clashes, posting an average of 27.2 points per game. His away average is 23.8 points, in contrast to a modest 19.5 at home. Impressively, Morant has scored 25+ points in three of his last four outings. Expect fireworks as we bet on his better-than-expected performance tonight.

Karl-Anthony Towns is proving himself to be a double-double sensation for the Knicks, reaching at least 10 points and 10 rebounds in 34 of his 38 games played this season. To give you perspective, last season he only recorded 22 double-doubles in 62 games. The last time Towns was recognized as an elite rebounder was during the 2018-19 season, when he still held the title of rising star. Currently, Towns is racking up double-doubles with a nine-game streak. In his only matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers this season, he had a solid performance with 21 points and 13 rebounds. Be sure to support him for another impressive performance tonight.

Anthony Edwards, affectionately known as Ant-Man, got back on track against Washington with a phenomenal 41-point game after struggling against a strong Grizzlies team, where he managed just 15 points with 0.307 shooting success. Following Towns’ trade to the Knicks, the Timberwolves have seen a considerable decline, currently sitting in eighth place and fighting for a play-in spot barring significant changes. Such is the result of a star player leaving a team that recently reached the NBA Finals while retaining Rudy Gobert, often considered the most overrated player in the league. Nonetheless, Edwards has raised his game after criticism from the TNT booth, posting 21 points or more in five of his last six games and reaching 32 points or more in four of them. Prepare for an electrifying matchup as he takes on Stephen Curry—Edwards has 30, 27 and 19 points in his three meetings with the Warriors this season. Be ready to bet on the Over for Ant-Man during tonight’s thrilling action at Sleeper Picks.
