NBA Prop Bet of the Day

Ja Morant OVER 32.5 points, rebounds and assists versus Orlando (-115, PointsBet)

With the Kentucky Derby on the immediate horizon, it’s only proper to feature a former Racer. Morant could score the triple crown against a hapless Orlando Magic squad with Caribbean vacations on the mind. Steve Clifford’s club, which was gutted at the trade deadline, lacks the necessary pixie dust to compete. They’re a top-six matchup for a scorer, dimer and crafty finisher according to the FTN advanced DvP tool, all standout traits Morant owns. They also rank No. 26 in adjusted defensive efficiency, surrendering 1.147 points per possession in their last three. Morant, who’s surpassed the proposed total in four of his last six contests, is in an advantageous position. In a dogfight with San Antonio and Golden State for the No. 8 seed in the West, the Grizzlies should lean heavily on their floor general.
