Sacramento is shooting 30.5% from 3 through five games. That puts more weight on its scoring inside against Memphis, whose opponents average 44.4 paint points through five games.
The Kings average 53.2 paint points over their five games. Under 233.5 against the Grizzlies is a bet on Memphis cutting into that production without Sacramento making up the difference from deep.
Memphis has allowed 51.0 second-half points per game, including 22.6 in the fourth quarter, through five games.
Ty Jerome, Memphis’s leading scorer at 25.8 points per game, is questionable with upper-back soreness. Backup Scotty Pippen Jr. is also questionable with low-back soreness.
