Best NBA prop bets today for Mavericks vs. Grizzlies (How to bet Tyus Jones)

The Memphis Grizzlies are looking to pick up yet another win, and they’ll face the Dallas Mavericks, who won’t have Luka Doncic, on Monday.

Ja Morant is still out for Memphis, but there is some value in the prop market with several key rotation players down for the Grizz.

Here’s how to bet on Tyus Jones and Xavier Tillman props on Monday:

Mavericks vs. Grizzlies best NBA prop bets

• Xavier Tillman OVER 7.5 Rebounds
• Tyus Jones OVER 7.5 Assists

Xavier Tillman OVER 7.5 Rebounds

Xavier Tillman has played a bigger role for the Grizzlies with Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke out, and he’s picked up eight or more boards in five of his last 10 games.

This is a great matchup for Tillman, as the Mavericks rank 29th in the NBA in rebounding percentage. Earlier this month, he had eight and five boards in his two games against them.

I’ll lean with Tillman going over this number, as his five-board game was in a blowout win for the Girzz, so he played just 24 minutes.

Tyus Jones OVER 7.5 Assists

Tyus Jones is getting another start on Monday with Ja Morant still out of the lineup, and he’s put up double-digit assists in five of his last eight games.

Jones is averaging 8.1 assists per game in 17 games in the 2022-23 campaign without Morant, and now he gets a Dallas team that ranks 23rd in the NBA in defensive rating.

The Grizzlies should be able to get some easy buckets on Dallas, and Jones put up 10 assists at home against them earlier this month.
