Top 2 NBA Player Picks for Wednesday 3-5

We’ve got an exciting NBA slate lined up, and after digging into the matchups, I’ve identified two player props that present great value. Let’s break them down.


📌 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander More Than 43.5 P+R+A

SGA has been on an absolute tear, averaging 32 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists over his last 10 games. His offensive explosion was on full display Monday night when he dropped 51 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists against the Rockets.


Tonight, he gets an even better spot against the Memphis Grizzlies, who play at the fastest pace in the NBA and will be without Defensive Player of the Year candidate Jaren Jackson Jr. due to an ankle injury. With the extra possessions and a weakened Memphis defense, Shai should have no trouble stuffing the stat sheet once again.


📌 Desmond Bane More Than 23.5 Points

With Jaren Jackson Jr. sidelined and Ja Morant questionable, Desmond Bane is in line for a major usage bump in the Grizzlies' offense. We've already seen what he can do when the offense runs through him, as he erupted for 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists in a massive triple-double against the Hawks on Monday.


Bane has proven he can take over games as the primary scoring option, and with Memphis expected to play at a fast pace once again, he should see plenty of opportunities. If he gets 30+ minutes, this line is very attainable.
