Tonight’s Atlanta Hawks vs. Memphis Grizzlies non-conference NBA clash has the highest total on the board.

Atlanta struggles defending the 3-point line, and my Hawks vs. Grizzlies predictions expect Desmond Bane to have a big night from downtown. 
Read on as I share my NBA picks for Monday, March 3.

Hawks vs Grizzlies prediction

My best bet
Desmond Bane Over 2.5 threes (+105 at bet365)

My analysis
Tonight’s Atlanta Hawks vs. Memphis Grizzlies clash has the highest total on the board for a reason. The pace of tonight’s tilt should be frantic, and several players on both squads run like the wind and love to score in this environment.

Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane is coming off a 0-4 from long-range stinker against the Knicks, and the total promises an environment perfect for slump-busting. He doesn’t need much encouragement to fire away; the fifth-year guard from TCU launches nearly six long-range jumpers per home game.

He meets a Hawks defense that’s been leaky, allowing a half-dozen 3-point attempts to opposing two-guards and 37% shooting from beyond the arc when wearing the visitors' jerseys.

Bane drains 37% of his six triple attempts at FedExForum. The tempo will be kinetic, and the inconsistent Atlanta defense will oblige.

He’s made 3+ threes in four of his last 10, but I’m betting on another big night on the perimeter tonight. 

Hawks vs Grizzlies same-game parlay

Desmond Bane Over 2.5 threes

Desmond Bane Over 20.5 points

Trae Young Over 3.5 threes

I plan on placing a bet on each of these legs individually, but they also correlate well for a nice 4/1 payday. Bane has scored 21+ in six of his last 10. He’ll likely have Trae Young guarding him, and Young is more known for scoring than defending.

Look for Young to light it up from downtown tonight against the Grizzlies perimeter defense yielding 36% from behind the arc. Except him to bounce back from this current slump (3-for-18 from deep the last three games).
