Look of the Day for Wednesday, 4/10: By Georges, he's got it

The Atlanta Braves scored six runs on Tuesday night to cash their team total over and give us a winner on Look of the Day. Let's cash back-to-back tickets with our favorite player prop of Wednesday's NBA slate. 

Georges Niang over 1.5 threes (-110 DraftKings)

The Memphis Grizzlies are in full tank mode with so many players injured or sitting out for the season. Their projected starting lineup for Wednesday night looks like Jordan Goodwin, Scotty Pippen Jr., GG Jackson II, Trey Jamison and Timmy Allen. No, that is not a joke.

There's a reason the Cleveland Cavaliers are 18.5-point favorites. The Cavs are still fighting for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference, all of their starters should be suiting up. Cleveland will want to give them a rest if this one starts to get ugly, which seems likely based on the massive talent disparity between these two teams. 

That opens the door for bench players such as Georges Niang to see extended playing time. Niang already averages nearly five three-point attempts and 1.8 makes per game this season, and those numbers should increase in a likely blowout. The Grizzlies rank 27th in opponent three-point percentage, so we like Niang to have an above-average shooting performance in what will look more like a scrimmage than an NBA game.
