Nothing more than a home-court play on Memphis, which is 15-4 in its own gym. No Marcus Smart is not ideal, but everyone else is in there. Houston remains a bit short-handed up front sans Jabari Smith and Tari Eason. The Grizz surely remember their 20-point beatdown in Houston very early in the season. Memphis also is well-rested.
FanDuel. In seven games as a starter this season, Amen Thompson is averaging 29.3 points + rebounds, and has cleared this line in five of those contests. In this recent run of starts, with Jabari Smith Jr. down with an injury, Thompson has played 41 minutes in each of the last two games. Without Tari Eason (doubtful) likely out again, the Rockets will roll with a tight rotation once again, against a formidable Grizzlies team that is first in pace.
