76ers vs. Knicks
By Joe Dellera
The Knicks are playing the front end of a back-to-back against a 76ers team that is clearly focused on the draft.
Mitchell Robinson hasn't been playing in back-to-backs, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit tonight, then play tomorrow against the Cavs, giving the Knicks the ability to experiment with some things for a potential playoff matchup.
Hart has crushed this line against the 76ers, posting double-digit boards in all three games this season and in 11 of his past 13 against Philadelphia since joining the Knicks. Considering Philadelphia allows the ninth-most rebounds to its opponents, this isn't that surprising.
Hart has exceeded this rebounding mark in 11 of his past 20 games and in 13 of his past 20 games without Mitchell Robinson.
Let’s also sprinkle in a built-out Triple Double. Hart has one in six of 20 games in which the Knicks win by 15+ and in two of his past three against the 76ers.
Pick: Josh Hart Over 9.5 Rebounds
76ers vs. Knicks
Quentin Grimes has averaged nearly 27 points on 50/40/74 shooting over his past 14 games.
The man is on an absolute heater and in a contract year, meaning he has ample incentive to produce right now. The Sixers — who traded Caleb Martin for Grimes — are clearly invested in Grimes' development as they continue their rise up the lottery board.
Grimes has gone over this point total 11 times in 14 games.
Pick: Quentin Grimes Over 21.5 Points
Warriors vs. Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies are spiraling, with nine wins and 15 losses over their past 24 games — when they were the two seed in the Western Conference.
They’ve fired their head coach and a lead assistant, have guys shoving each other on the bench and now find themselves in a third game in four nights spot. They're also losers of six of their past seven, with the lone win coming over the Utah Jazz.
Another veteran-laden team is playing well and coming for them in a rested and advantageous spot: the Golden State Warriors.
This is more of a fade-the-Grizzlies play rather than a back-the-Warriors situation, but I’m fine with the team that has handled Memphis in many big games in the past.
