NBA Prop Bet of the Day

Draymond Green OVER 9.5 assists vs. Memphis (-120, DraftKings)

The last hurrah. The final act. The end game. Sunday night, the NBA regular season wraps up. While some teams are mentally adrift, daydreaming about tee times, surfboards and banana boat rides, others are entering into a playoff mindset. With seedings on the line, Warriors HC Steve Kerr said his team is in full max effort mode against a club also vying for a more favorable postseason position, Memphis. Green, who has dished out double-digit dimes in four of his last six and once earlier this season in a matchup against the Grizzlies, is a sound wager. Though on the surface stout defensively according to efficiency rankings, Memphis checks in at No. 20 in total opponent assists per game and No. 23 in opponent assists to field goals made. Equally encouraging, according to the FTN Daily Advanced DvP tool, Ja Morant and friends are the eighth-best matchup for a dimer over the last 15 games.
