The Grizzlies visit the Thunder Monday night as 12.5-point underdogs with a total of 228.5 points.
Now that we’re a third of the way into the NBA season, the betting market understands the statistical production of each player. If a player is still flying under the radar, it is usually a special situation.
And that’s the case with Grizzlies guard Cam Spencer. The UConn product almost always comes off the bench, but his production is impressive even when Ja Morant is healthy and starting.
Spencer has cashed in on his points backing in 11 straight games. As a backup point guard, he was initially reluctant to look for his shot. However, as he has become more comfortable and situated, Spencer has played more aggressively and understands his offensive skills.
When a player faces the defending champions, it can be difficult to handicap his or her stats. OKC is certainly capable of a big win and that sometimes results in important players being relegated to fewer minutes. But that’s just part of the risk of sports betting, as a blowout can happen to any opponent.

Additionally, the Thunder possess the league’s highest-rated defensive efficiency. They pride themselves on that side of the ball, but Spencer is quite talented, shooting 50 percent from the field and from three-point range as well.
I have an ATS record of 84-71-2 in this post sports section and my next game is Spencer over his points.
The Game: Cam Spencer Over 14.5 points (-116, DraftKings)
