NBA Underdog Fantasy Picks Today, 3/20
Desmond Bane, SG Memphis Grizzlies
In two games since his return Bane has played 32 and 37 minutes for the depleted Grizzlies while scoring 22 and 24 points. Tonight he draws the Golden State Warriors with a point projection set at 23.5 points. Bane was shooting over 40% from three-point range on the season and this is expected to be a pace up spot for Memphis here tonight. He should approach the 20-shot plateau and if he can get the three-point ball to drop then this point total is no sweat.
Pick: Higher than 23.5 Points
Deandre Ayton, C Portland Trail Blazers
The Blazers could be without Anfernee Simons tonight and we know they will be without Jerami Grant which means there are plenty of shot attempts that could go the way of the Blazers center. Ayton has been a monster since the all-star break, averaging 24.6 points per game. Tonight his point projection is set at 21.5 points which is a total he has eclipsed in five of the last six games.
Pick: Higher than 21.5 Points
