This Season’s Top Scorers
Ja Morant has started off the 2021-22 campaign absolutely on fire. In three games, he’s averaging 35 PPG, including a 40-point outing against the Los Angeles Lakers. Before the season, he was tied for just the 29th-best odds to lead the league in scoring
Bradley Beal: +275
Luka Doncic: +450
Stephen Curry: +500
Damian Lillard: +700
Joel Embiid: +700
32 other players
Ja Morant: +20000
So far, only two other players are currently averaging over 30 PPG this season - here are the current Top 5 scorers 👇
Ja Morant, 35.0 ppg
Kevin Durant, 31.0 ppg
Stephen Curry, 31.0 ppg
Karl-Anthony Towns 29.0 ppg
Paul George 28.7 ppg

Is It Real?
With 79 games to go in the season, Ja has a long way to go before becoming the league’s youngest scoring champion since a then-21-year-old Kevin Durant back in 2010. Still, his improvement in one area is enough to believe his career average of 18.8 ppg are a thing of the past
Ja’s first two seasons: 31.7% on 3.2 3PA
This season: 44.4% on 6.0 3PA
Morant taking more 3s than ever and making tougher shots, all while making them at the best clip of his young career. If Logo Ja becomes a thing, there’s no limit to what he can do in this league
Trivia question: Before KD broke the record, who was the youngest scoring champion in the history of the league?

Memphis Grizzlies Preview
Before the season, the Grizzlies had the second-best odds to win the Western Conference’s Southwest Division
Dallas Mavericks: -210
Memphis Grizzlies: +440
New Orleans Pelicans: +500
San Antonio Spurs: +1300
Houston Rockets: +10000
Through the first week of games, here’s where things stand
Memphis Grizzlies: 2-1
Dallas Mavericks: 2-1
Houston Rockets: 1-3
San Antonio Spurs: 1-2
New Orleans Pelicans: 1-3
The Pelicans’ (+700) rough start without Zion has adjusted the odds at the top of the Southwest division, but Memphis (+333) remains an appealing underdog to win their division. Dallas is still favored at -220
With Ja flanked by a finally healthy Jaren Jackson Jr. and other surging young talents like De’Anthony Melton and Desmond Bane, the Grizzlies could be poised to surprise people this season
