Dennis Smith Jr. has had an interesting career to say the least. The former 9th overall pick has played on six different teams and while he hasn't lived up to the expectations of being a lottery pick, I give him credit for sticking in the league. Smith is purely a reserve and plays between 14-20 mins while averaging approximately 7.3 RA. This looks like a good spot to fade the backup PG against a Grizzlies team that plays a sluggish brand of basketball and this game has a minuscule 205 point total.
Kevin Ollie has stepped into the breach before, doing so at UConn over a decade ago when Jim Calhoun made a hasty step-down in September of 2012. Picking up the pieces in Brooklyn from Jacque Vaughn after the All-Star break, the Ollie Nets have forged slight improvement, though the real Brooklyn trend has been "under" since before the All-Star break. Counting last Friday as another "under" vs. Atlanta (before a late drop to 220.5), Brooklyn is "under" in all six of Ollie's games in charge and 11-1 "under" dating back to Feb. 5. Meanwhile, injury-depleted Memphis is scoring-challenged, held beneath 100 in four straight regulation times, and tallying no more than 101 across its last five games. Play Grizzlies-Nets "Under"
