The Memphis Grizzlies visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday as both teams look to find footing in a season marked by inconsistency.
The Grizzlies, 6-6 in their last 12 games, will lean on Ja Morant, who is rounding back into form after returning from a shoulder injury. The Timberwolves, meanwhile, aim to extend their three-game winning streak.
Here’s the featured Morant prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook to consider for Saturday’s game in Minnesota.
Best Ja Morant Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Ja Morant Over 28.5 Points + Assists (-115)
Morant’s typical blend of scoring and playmaking makes him a strong candidate to surpass this total. In 21 games this season, Morant has averaged 21.5 points, 7.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds. He scored 27 points in his return against Houston on Thursday, showing no lingering effects from his injury.
Historically, Morant has excelled against Rudy Gobert, averaging 25.4 points and 7.6 assists in 11 regular season matchups. The Timberwolves’ defense will focus on containing Morant, but Memphis could capitalize on Minnesota’s struggles with turnovers. The Grizzlies rank second in the league in turnovers per game (17.4), an area Desmond Bane highlighted needing improvement.
“Turnovers have been killing us,” Bane said. “It’s just got to be an area of focus for us — to take care of the ball so we end up with more possessions and opportunities than our opponents.”
The circumstances are favorable for Morant to exceed 28.5 combined points and assists. With his recent form and track record against Gobert, Morant is well-positioned to deliver another impactful performance as Memphis seeks to regain momentum.
