Prop Bets: Memphis Grizzlies VS New York Knicks 2025-11-11

The Memphis Grizzlies vs. New York Knicks: A Predictable Pick-Em?

The Memphis Grizzlies, currently limping into Madison Square Garden with a 4-7 record and more injuries than a Netflix medical drama, face the red-hot New York Knicks, who’ve won four straight and are cooking on all cylinders. The Knicks are favored at -150 (implied probability: 60%), while the Grizzlies are +400 (20%), which about sums up the "fun" factor of this matchup. The total points line sits at 233.5, and let’s just say it’s going to take a small army of statisticians to count all the points the Knicks will score.

Why the Knicks Are the Obvious (and Boring) Pick
The Knicks are a well-oiled machine right now, averaging 120.6 PPG and allowing just 111.9. Their star, Jalen Brunson, is a lock to hit his prop bet of 26.5 points—he’s scoring at a 27.2 PPG clip, so unless he’s suddenly struck by a mysterious case of “I’ll just take a rest today,” he’ll cash in. Plus, his assist prop (6.5) is a cakewalk for a guy who dishes out 6.2 dimes per game.

As for the Grizzlies? Ja Morant is their lone bright spot, but even he’s got a laughably low 20.5-point prop to chase. Ja’s averaging 19.2 PPG, so he’ll need to drop 21 points in the final minute of the 4th quarter while the rest of his team takes a coffee break. Good luck with that, Ja.

The Props That’ll Make You Snort Coffee
- Ja Morant Over 20.5 Points (-117): Ja’s got the talent, but with a supporting cast that’s more “rotten tomatoes” than “All-Star,” this feels like betting on a single player to carry a sinking ship.
- Jalen Brunson Over 26.5 Points (-114): Brunson’s a sure thing. He’s the human embodiment of “predictable excellence.”
- Over 233.5 Total Points (-110): With these two teams’ combined offensive firepower (and the Knicks’ defense looking like a sieve), this total is basically a free bet.

The Verdict
The Knicks are a 9.5-point favorite for a reason—they’re healthy, confident, and have a center (Jock Landale? Wait, no, Mitchell Robinson is questionable… oops) who can clean up the glass. The Grizzlies? They’re a team of “what ifs” and “what the hells.”

Final Score Prediction: New York Knicks 128, Memphis Grizzlies 112.

Bonus Prop to Watch: Will Ja Morant’s teammates finally score a basket? No (-5000).

In conclusion, this game is as exciting as a tax audit. Take the Knicks, ignore the props unless you’re a masochist, and enjoy the free popcorn. 🏀💸
