Knicks vs. Grizzlies Odds & Betting Predictions - January 14, 2024

Memphis is punting this game a bit with Smart, Bane, JJJ and obviously Morant all out tonight. Their defense should fall off a cliff. Donte has hit this line in 3/6 without IQ and considering Brunson is Questionable, there’s a decent chance he misses tonight and opens up even more opportunity for him. I’m projecting him closer to 15 with Brunson and this would only go up if Brunson is held out.

Hello, we are doing this again. I’ve written about Isaiah Hartenstein and how he’s thrived playing alongside OG Anunoby in my Player Props Forecast (https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/nba-player-props-forecast-hartenstein-worth-monitoring-motor-city-in-need-of-revival) Since Anunoby has joined the Knicks, Hartenstein is averaging 13.8 rebounds on 21 rebound chances per game, per NBA Advanced Stats. That makes him the fourth-highest rebounder in the NBA over this stretch. Now, he gets a game against the Memphis Grizzlies whose offense falls off significantly without Ja Morant and they likely will be without Desmond Bane (ankle) as well. The Grizzlies are the 23rd ranked team in Rebounding Percentage and after moving on from Bismack Biyombo they are even more undersized. The Grizzlies have allowed monster rebounding games to Nurkic (19), Sabonis (21), and Zubac (20) within the last two weeks and given Hartenstein’s rebounding proficiency, he should thrive here. I like Harteinstein to exceed 11.5 rebounds and 15+ (+320 Bet365) is a good look as well.
