MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES VS. PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS PROP PICK
Grant has averaged over this number this season (21.7).
The Blazers are without Brogdon tonight and will be without Shaedon Sharpe for the rest of the season, which means Grant will continue to see more volume offensively.
This is a tremendous buy-low spot on Grant, who scored just 12 points on Tuesday vs. the Wolves.
Grant will soar over this number tonight.
