NBA 1Q Play of the Day

Grizzlies/Thunder 1Q over 55.5 (-105 @DraftKings)

The Grizzlies and Thunder rank 3rd and 4th, respectively, in first-quarter overs, each hitting at rates north of 57%. Both teams rank in the top 5 first-quarter offenses, with OKC averaging 31.3 1Q points per game (2nd) and Memphis not far behind at 31.2 (4th). Where things get interesting, though, is looking at Memphis’s first-quarter defense. They are among the worst in the league, ranking 26th overall, surrendering 29.7 points in the opening period. With both teams among the league’s highest in overall pace, expect a high-flying 1Q and take the over with confidence.Â
