Chet Holmgren outperformed Edey by utilizing his physicality and offensive skills, limiting Edey's effectiveness on defense and rebounding, as shown by Edey's playing time and stats in Game 2.

Holmgren has made three triples in both games of the series, notably hitting 8 in Game 2, and has a 44.4% three-point shooting percentage over the last month of the regular season and 54.5% on the road in five games.

Morant's potential assists have decreased from 12.5 in the regular season to 9.0 in this series, leading to an opening Game 3 assist total of 5.5, which has moved to 6.5 as projections indicate he may achieve at least seven assists.

Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 1.7 steals this season and recorded two or more steals in three of his last four games against the Grizzlies, with prop models for Game 3 projecting his steals total above 1.5.

Ja Morant is 3 for 12 from three-point range against OKC but improved offensively in the second half of Game 2 and has consistent projections for at least two 3-point makes.
