Kate Constable: Grizzlies -8.5 vs. Jazz

The Grizzlies are a team that loves to run and thrives in transition. They rank third in fast-break points on the season, while the Jazz are 29th in defending in transition. On the season, Utah has given up 17.2 points in transition, but over its last five games that number has jumped to 22.8. The Jazz have also been turning the ball over quite a bit since trading Mike Conley, which is going to result in a ton of extra points for Memphis. The Grizzlies are also great at getting into the paint and scoring around the rim, another area where the Jazz struggle to defend.

Matt Horner: Jazz F/C Kelly Olynyk o10.5 pts (-110, DraftKings)

Not the most popular player or the best team, but we’re simply going by performance. Olynyk has cleared this number in his last five contests, averaging 13.8 PPG in that span, as he has clearly earned a bigger role recently. I’ll take him to once again go over this small number. DraftKings had the best price on Olynyk o10.5 points this morning, and this can be a great piece of a same-game parlay if you also like Kate's Grizzlies -8.5 pick, or any other line in this game.

Lucy Burdge: Thunder -9.5 vs. Rockets

The Thunder are 34-21 ATS this season, including 17-11 at home, while the Rockets are just 23-32 ATS overall and 10-19 on the road. And when the Thunder and the Rockets faced off earlier this month in OKC, the Thunder won, 153-121, as 10-point favorites, so I like them to cover this spread against the Rockets once again tonight.

BetMGM NBA OGP Insurance Play of the Day

If you're not playing BetMGM's NBA OGP Insurance promo yet, you're leaving money on the table. Opt in to the promo and place a four-leg (minimum) NBA one-game parlay; if your OGP loses by one leg, you'll get your stake back in a free bet up to $25 -- and you can take advantage of this promo once every day there's an NBA game!

Here is my play for today, using the strategy of "middling" the alt totals and the alt spreads for each team to increase the odds of triggering the insurance if the parlay doesn't hit. You can apply this strategy to any NBA game, any night:

Heat-Nets o202.5
Heat-Nets u222.5
Heat +11.5
Nets +8.5
