Pick Ideas

Charlotte plus the points

Charlotte +20.5 (-110) remains a cautious spread lean: Dimers gave the 49ers a 55.2% chance to cover.

Lean under 52.5

Under 52.5 is a slight lean: Dimers projected Memphis 35, Charlotte 16 for 51 total with essentially even over/under probabilities, while recent content describes Tank Boston as a vertical/deep-over player with lots of targets but not many big plays yet.

Pass on the Memphis moneyline at a steep price

At -1450 in the cited odds snapshot, Memphis's moneyline price leaves little room for error; prefer a spread or total over paying that cost for a straight-up favorite.
