Kristaps Porzingis 3+ Made Threes (+180)

Same Game Parlay odds: +668
Kristaps Porzingis 3+ Made Threes (+180)
KP has had some really solid performances against Memphis in his career. Over the last 10 meetings he’s averaging 21.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game on really solid efficiency both from the field and three-point land. Out of those 10 games, he’s scored 2 or more threes in 8 of them, while in his last home game against them he went a stellar 6-for-10 from downtown as a member of the Washington Wizards. I think he matches up quite well against Jaren Jackson Jr., luring him out to the three-point line will be a good strategy for the Celtics on offense as that will open up the floor and take away the rim protection the Grizzlies have here. Porzingis went just 1-for-7 from downtown vs the Lakers on Thursday, I doubt a player of his ability to shoot will have back-to-back poor shooting games. He’s cleared this line 4 times in his last 7 games, not too bad for a bet priced at +180 odds.

Derrick White to Score 20+ Points (+230)
Among the many Celtics players that disappointed in Thursday’s home loss to the Lakers was Derrick White who finished with just 9 points. I’m looking for him to bounce back against the Grizzlies tonight as he takes on a slightly lesser-known backcourt of Vince Williams Jr. and Jacob Gilyard. A Celtics blowout win is expected here, so there is a high chance their higher profile players take a back seat to the likes of White and others. Prior to the Lakers game, White had 24 vs the Pacers and 17 against the Pelicans, he is a very capable scorer when given the opportunity to showcase what he can do. The last time he played Memphis at TD Garden he went for 23 points and 10 assists in 40 minutes played. One of the major weaknesses the Grizzlies have this season is their perimeter defense – opponents are connecting on almost 38% of threes against them, so hopefully White can make the most out of that.
