Green is averaging 21.3 points per game this season, and he’s doing it with increased efficiency. Houston’s leading scorer is hitting 43% of his field goals, 87.2% of his free throws, and 35.3% of his 3-pointers - all career highs.

Green has averaged 26 points across his last 13 games, hitting the Over 10 times in that span. He’s averaged 23.2 points on the road and just 19.2 at home, and he’s scored 23 or more in 14 of 24 road games.

Green has finished with 42, 27, and 22 in three matchups with Memphis this season, and he’s in a great position to hit the Over again.

During the last 12 games, no team has surrendered more 3-pointers (14.9) than Memphis. The Grizzlies have allowed opponents to shoot 38.6% from beyond the arc in that span, good for third-highest.

Desmond Bane Over 27.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -102 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 50.50%

Bane has been absolutely cooking since the end of December, and there’s no reason to believe he’ll stop anytime soon. Memphis’ sharpshooting guard has done far more than score over the last month, as he leads the team in assists in his last 15.

In that 15-game stretch, Bane has averaged 21.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 6.7 dimes, good for 32.7 PRAs. He hit the Over on this line in 12 of 15, and he’s reached that mark in five of his last six.

Bane has been solid at home, posting at least 28 PRAs in 11 of 20 at FedExForum. He finished with PRA totals of 24, 24, and 30 in three matchups with Houston this season, and he should have no problem hitting the Over once again.

Amen Thompson Over 31.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -113 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 53.05%

Thompson has been phenomenal since joining the starting lineup full-time, and we expect his hot streak to continue tonight. Over his last six, Thompson ranks first on his team in minutes, rebounds, and assists, and he's second in scoring.

He’s hit the Over on this combo prop in seven of his last 11 and in 13 of 43 games on the season. Thompson posted at least 32 PRAs in just three of 27 games off the bench, but he’s reached that mark in 10 of 16 as a starter.

He finished with 36 PRAs in his last matchup with Memphis, and the Grizzlies offer a favorable matchup. Over the last 12, Memphis has allowed the fourth-most points and ninth-most assists. The Grizzlies have been stingy to opposing rebounders, but Thompson could get an additional boost in that opportunity if Alperen Sengun and/or Steven Adams are sidelined tonight.
