Memphis Grizzlies vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Pick
1u Jaren Jackson Jr o2.5 Blocks (-150) Bet $150 to collect $250. DraftKings has the best odds, click here
Betting on blocks isn’t something we often do but I see an exception here. Jackson Jr hasn’t played enough games this year to qualify as the blocks leader, but in the games he has played, he averages 3.3 blocks per game which would be by far the best in the league running away from Nic Claxton.
Every time Memphis plays at home, I bet this and it’s been a cash cow. The time has come for me to share the wealth. Recently there was a scandal that Memphis statisticians were inflating Jackson’s block numbers in home games. This was mostly debunked but for whatever reason Jaren likes playing at home. The guy has insane splits. During home games this year, Jackson Jr. averages 4.3 blocks per game and on the road just 2.2.
Jackson Jr. has faced Minnesota twice this year and only has two blocks in both games but they were both in Minnesota. Tonight's game is at home where JJJ averages nearly double the blocks. We need three tonight and Jackson Jr is 18/20 on hitting this prop at home. With D-Lo gone I see plenty of Edwards driving to the rack, it that happens I can see Jaren denying some of those. Let's drink the juice here and take the prop that hits 90% of the time at home, let's roll!
