Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction, Odds & Picks

The Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers play for the third time this season on Sunday night. The home team won the first two contests between these teams, and the series is split at one win apiece. It’s been about a month since these two teams last met, and since then they’ve both gone in opposite directions. The Grizzlies are 11-3 during this stretch and have won their last four games. Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. has made the Grizzlies look like their 2022 version, who went 56-26. The difference between these teams is that the current Grizzlies are more focused on scoring the basketball compared to the tough defense played by the 2022 team. The Grizzlies are averaging 122.6 points per game, shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from 3-point range. The Los Angeles Lakers have gone 6-8 since these two teams last played. They have lost a level of synergy that they played with at the beginning of the season. They’ve also seen some of their star players, including LeBron James, miss some time with injury. James will again be listed as questionable for tonight’s game after JJ Redick confirmed yesterday that he does not know when James will return to the Lakers.

Since the announcement of James is questionable, this spread has changed in favor of the Memphis Grizzlies. Even if James dresses tonight, the Grizzlies should still have the edge and be able to cover in this game. The Lakers have struggled lately, losing 8 of their last 11 games. In their last game against Minnesota, the Lakers committed 20 turnovers and looked disjointed all night. They have depended on Anthony Davis during this stretch. I like how the Grizzlies matchup as his matchup tonight will be former point guard Jaren Jackson Jr. The Lakers have been a team that has given the Grizzlies trouble over the past few seasons, including a playoff game that went in the Lakers’ favor. The Grizzlies should be motivated tonight to take advantage of a rival while playing at their worst.

Grizzlies -4.5 available at time of release. Can be played on that track.
