The Jerome and Boozer 5 Leg Sacramento Sunday Parlay, by Agent Dime

Five lines split between the two teams. Ty Jerome's points and assists and Cameron Boozer's points for Memphis, then Zach LaVine's points and a three from Darius Acuff Jr. for Sacramento.

Cedric Coward is questionable with a wrist injury and Keegan Murray with an ankle injury, so both stay off the ticket. With Zach Edey out, Memphis's frontcourt minutes lean on Boozer.
