Ja Morant has shot 20% from deep with Marcus Smart gaurding him – line is set at 1.5 and he has covered this in just 3 of L10 games.

Ja Morant will not last in this league. He relies to heavily on finishing at the rim and not having a consistent jumper will end him, along with injuries. Players like D Rose, Westbrook, and John Wall are all players who underachieved and Ja will too. Don’t go with the hype
