Dime’s ticket posts before tip-off, and here is his read

I am watching Domantas Sabonis, at 16.5 rebounds a game, and Zach LaVine at 27.3 points. For Memphis it is Ty Jerome, at 29.8 points a game, and Cameron Boozer on the glass. My ticket posts before tip-off once Kalshi's player board is fully trading and the injury report settles.

Records are through Tuesday, and both teams play Thursday before this one, so Dime will refresh records and injuries on game day. Sacramento's frontcourt is thin with Murray, Raynaud and Cardwell out, and Kalshi's winner market was wide at Wednesday's read.
