Grizzlies vs. Cavaliers Player Props: Best NBA Prop Bet Picks for Nov. 15

My Grizzlies vs. Cavaliers player props believe a pair of Cleveland players will step up to deliver for Saturday’s NBA best bets.

With Darius Garland, Max Strus, and Jaylon Tyson all out, I expect Sam Merrill and Lonzo Ball to have bigger roles for the Cavs in an uptempo game. Cleveland is a double-digit favorite, and the total is 239.

Tipoff is 5 p.m. ET on Saturday at the Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, on NBA TV.

⬆️ Sam Merrill player prop: Over 11.5 points (-102) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Merrill will likely crack the starting lineup with Garland out due to a toe injury. That means he’s set for a statistical bump on Saturday.

In six games as a starter this season, Merrill is averaging 14.3 points on 42.6% shooting. In the four games as a reserve, he’s produced 12 points per contest on a 44% field goal percentage.

Along with Merrill’s role increase, this is a favorable matchup. Memphis is 23rd in the league at defending above-the-break 3-pointers, which is the area where Merrill does the most damage. 

BetMGM offers this scoring prop at 10.5, but the Over (-135) isn’t as appealing as FanDuel’s offering. At -102, a $10 bet earns $9.80.

⬆️ Lonzo Ball player prop: Over 12.5 points + assists (-108) ⭐⭐⭐

Ball should be the first player off the bench for Cleveland, and I could see increased playing time if the home team rolls as expected. Ball demonstrated what he can do with a bigger role last time out, recording 15 points and eight assists as a starter in Wednesday’s win over the Miami Heat.

The Cavs have been careful with Ball, who is averaging 23.1 minutes per contest this year. He’s only cleared this combo prop three times in his 10 games, averaging 6.1 points and 5.4 assists per contest.

Given the favorable matchup against the Grizzlies (22nd in defensive rating and 24th in assists allowed), I project seven points and six assists for Ball on Saturday. If he plays a bit more than expected, I’d love this Over even more.

⬇️ Jaren Jackson Jr. player prop: Under 25.5 points, rebounds, + assists (-121) ⭐⭐⭐

While this is a favorable spot for the Cavaliers, the same can’t be said for Jaren Jackson Jr. and the Grizzlies. Cleveland’s frontcourt is fully healthy, which includes the reigning Defensive Player of the Year in Evan Mobley.

Jackson has gotten off to a slow start this season, averaging 17.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. He’s cleared this PRA line in just six of his 13 games.  

If Zach Edey (questionable) makes his season debut on Saturday, I expect Jackson’s rebounding production to go down. There is also blow-out potential, meaning Jackson might not play as much in the fourth quarter.

Either way, I’m on the Under at this -121 value to win $8.26 on a $10 wager.
