Heat: +200 (bet $10 to win $30 total)Grizzlies: +380 (bet $10 to win $48 total)Bucks: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)Raptors: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)Kings: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)Nets: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)Wolves: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total) For weeks, these odds had existed with the Grizzlies sitting atop the oddsboard. However, earlier this week, they were tied with the Bucks at +250, and now the Heat are favored, moving from +700 to +200 over the past two days. The Grizz have since dropped to +380 and the Bucks have dropped to +600. On the season, Morant hasn’t been bad. He’s averaging 19 points, 7.6 assists, 3.2 rebounds and a steal for the Grizz. However, digging a little deeper, there have been some struggles. Morant is shooting just 40.1% from the field, the lowest percentage of his seven-year career. He’s also shooting a career-low 20.8% from 3, an abysmal percentage for a guard attempting 4.3 3-pointers per game. Arguably the biggest concern about Morant’s season is his availability … or lack thereof. He’s played in just 18 of Memphis’ 39 games (17-22), a concerning trend in his young career. Over the last several seasons, due to either suspension or injury, Morant has rarely been in the Grizzlies’ lineup. He played just 50 games last season, nine in the 2023-24 season, 61 in the 2022-23 season, 57 in the 2021-22 season, 63 in the 2020-21 season and 67 in the 2019-20 season, his rookie year. Yes, Morant has never played 68 games or more in a single season. Morant is in the third year of a five-year, $197.2 million contract. That deal will expire at the conclusion of the 2027-28 season. Precedent for a former franchise point guard being traded to a new organization has already been set this season, with the Hawks shipping Trae Young to the Wizards on Jan. 7. If Morant is to be next, the odds say he could make his way from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference, to a squad looking to return to the mountaintop. On the year, Miami is 21-19, good enough for eighth in the East. It has made the playoffs each of the last six years, including NBA Finals appearances in 2019-20 and 2022-23.
