Expert picks & predictions for Thursday’s Grizzlies vs. Pacers game

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes "Tyrese Haliburton to go Over his 8.5 assists total versus Memphis"

"This being a home game means a lot for Tyrese Haliburton. He has averaged 9.0 assists and 19.7 points per game at home compared to 8.4 assists and 16.3 points on the road this season. Factor in that he was "snubbed" from the All-Star Game in the eyes of some, which means we could see a big game for Haliburton.

Haliburton had seven assists in the first meeting and with a game total of 251.0, the highest of the night, I'd expect plenty of assist opportunities to be presented his way."
