NBC Sports Betting Best Bets

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Lakers to go over their first half Team Total of 58.5 points:

“Memphis is coming off wins against Washington and Portland since beating the Lakers. The previous two wins are against two of the worst offenses in the NBA.

The Grizzlies held Portland to 44 points and Washington to 48 points in the first half and ran away in those games. I believe the Lakers will give them more of a run for their money in the first half, especially since Anthony Davis did not play in the first meeting.

Los Angeles trailed 59-53 in the first meeting and I think they can score 60 plus this time. The Lakers scored 68, 74, 59 and 69 points in the first half against the Grizzlies last year. I like LA First Half Team Total Over 58.5.”

Here are the best bets our model predicts for the Grizzlies and Lakers:
