NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Too close to call

The last two games between the two squads have been decided by just a point. Both squads have terrific offenses and we have seen them in full flow throughout the series. In the last game, Ja Morant hit an incredibly close shot to help the Grizzlies take a three-two lead. The Timberwolves will fancy themselves extending the series at the home floor.

In the last game, the Timberwolves made twice as many threes as the Grizzlies on a 42%. However, it was the offensive rebounding of the Grizzlies that helped the matters as the team eked out an 18:6 advantage in that department, while the team also made the Wolves commit 22 turnovers in compared to 16 by themselves, this gave the Grizzlies 11 more shot attempts than the Timberwolves.

Fantasy related speculations

Ja Morant recovered his high-scoring ways and remains the red-hot favorite as the fantasy ace option. He has been piling up rebounds, assists, and steals regardless of shooting high or low percentage. Desmond Bane has been a fantastic option too due to his scoring while foul troubles have driven Jaren Jackson’s stocks lower while increasing Brandon Clarke’s stocks considerably. Steven Adams has fallen out of rotation while Dillon Brooks has been up-and-down.

For the Wolves, Anthony-Towns remains a viable option more than anyone else, he has picked up the intensity scoring-wise while gathering a ton of rebounds at the same time. Anthony Edwards continues to be a reliable scorer but D’Angelo Russell’s scoring has been below-par although his playmaking has been getting it done. Jarred Vanderbilt has had some strong rebounding nights but the fantasy value is most headlined by Anthony-Towns while the bench has been inconsistent. Patrick Beverley has been solid all-around.

Performance Predictions
Highest scorer: Ja Morant: 36
Highest rebounder: Karl Anthony-Towns: 12
Top assists maker: Ja Morant: 11
Score Prediction: Grizzlies 117  Timberwolves 106
