Dallas Mavericks vs Memphis Grizzlies Player Prop Picks 12-3-24

This matchup between the Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks will feature a contest between two teams with a mix of strong individual performances. The Mavericks (13-8) are led by Luka Doncic, who is averaging 28.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 7.6 assists. Doncic’s playmaking ability and scoring are key, while the addition of Klay Thompson provides a significant boost to their three-point shooting. Dallas also benefits from a solid defensive presence from Daniel Gafford, who averages 1.2 blocks per game.

The Grizzlies (14-7), meanwhile, have relied on Jaren Jackson Jr., who is averaging 22.8 points per game. Memphis also has strong defensive capabilities, with Jackson providing shot-blocking and leadership in the paint. Santi Aldama and Scotty Pippen Jr. round out their core, contributing both offensively and defensively. This game will likely revolve around Memphis’ defense and whether they can slow down Doncic’s production. On the other hand, the Mavericks will look to control the pace and take advantage of their home court.

Luka Doncic Over 31.5 Points

Luka Doncic has been putting up impressive scoring numbers in the 2024-25 NBA season, averaging 28.6 points per game across 15 appearances. His shooting efficiency has also been strong, hitting 44.9% of his field goals. He’s a threat from beyond the arc, converting 32.9% of his three-pointers, and is also effective at getting to the free-throw line, where he is shooting at 77.1%. Additionally, Doncic has been contributing across the board, averaging 7.6 rebounds and 8 assists per game, showcasing his all-around skills.

We saw Luka miss 5 games for the Mavericks due to injury but he came back last game against the Trailblazers. In the game, Luka Picked up right where he left off dropping 36 points. It looks like Kyrie Irving might now play in this game and if he does he probably won’t be 100%. Luka Doncic will need to step up and will have the ball more in his hands if Kyrie doesn’t play. Also in what should be a close and competitive game, I don’t mind taking Luka to have a big game. 

Jaren Jackson Over 19.5 Points

Jaren Jackson Jr. has been delivering solid offensive performances for the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2024-25 season. Averaging 22.2 points per game, Jackson has showcased his scoring ability through efficient shooting. He connects on 51.6% of his field goals, including 33.0% from beyond the arc. Additionally, he contributes 5.8 rebounds per game. His free-throw shooting has been impressive at 81.0%. Jackson’s ability to score inside and stretch the floor has been crucial for the Grizzlies this season.

Jaren Jackson has been a pleasant surprise for this Grizzles team this season and has taken a lot of weight off Ja Morants back. We’ve seen him have back-to-back games against the Pelicans and Pacers. Both these teams score a ton of points and I expect multiple guys to have a solid night scoring the ball. This is a great spot to target Jaren Jackson to get 20+ points.

PJ Washington Over 8.5 Rebounds

For the 2024-25 NBA season, P.J. Washington has been contributing significantly on the boards. He is averaging approximately 8.9 rebounds per game, with his rebound totals fluctuating between games. For instance, in one of his more recent games, he recorded 17 rebounds against the Thunder. His season averages for rebounds show a well-rounded effort, with a solid balance between offensive and defensive boards. Washington’s rebounding performance is vital to his team’s success, contributing to their overall defensive efforts and second-chance opportunities.

We’ve seen PJ Washington have 10+ rebounds in 7 out of his last 10 games. He’s coming off a game against the Trailblazers where he only had 3 rebounds but this is a good spot for him to bounce back. The Grizzles are giving up 53 rebounds per game to opposing teams which is above the league average. I’ll take a shot with Washington getting back on track when it comes to a rebounding perspective.
