The weekend is almost here and after just 2 games on Thursday, the NBA returns with a 10-game slate tonight! My focus is on the NBA TV clash between the New York Knicks and Memphis Grizzlies tipping off at 8:00 pm ET. I’ve prepared a same game parlay which you can find below.
Just 2 days ago I landed a same game parlay on the Utah Jazz vs Portland Trail Blazers game, so I’m looking to add to that winner here.
Don’t forget to also check our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Friday’s action, but let’s jump into the Knicks vs Grizzlies game first.
Memphis Grizzlies 1-10 win margin (+175)
Evan Fournier to score 25+ points (+1060)
Parlay odds: +2655
Memphis Grizzlies 1-10 win margin (+175)
Although Memphis won the first meeting by 12 points, I believe tonight’s game could end up being a lot closer than that. The Knicks are on a roll with 3 wins in a row, all on the road against Western Conference opponents. Memphis is also coming off a win, but they’ve recently gone just 2-2 over their last 4 games and have a loss to Houston during that stretch, which isn’t flattering for a team trying to finish 2nd in the Western Conference.
The Knicks have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games overall and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 on the road. They’ve also beaten 14 of 16 opponents from the Southwest Division. Although I don’t see them pulling off the upset here, I think they enough to at least make things interesting here.

Evan Fournier to score 25+ points (+1060)
Fournier is yet to score 25 points in 5 games played this month, but I think tonight could be the night. In the first meeting of the season against Memphis he went off and dropped 30 at home, connecting on 8 of 12 attempts from downtown. What’s even more impressive is the fact that he didn’t attempt a single free-throw in that game.
Memphis isn’t considered elite when it comes to defending the perimeter, and they are allowing opponents to shoot 35.3% from deep this season. That opens the door for Fournier to shine yet again. In his last 3 games against Memphis he has scored 30, 19 and 27 points so getting these odds for a bet that’s landed that often is just too hard to pass up.
