Lakers at Grizzlies: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Lakers 116, Grizzlies 99
Money line (ML)
The Lakers (-450) should be able to coast to a victory in Grind City against the Grizzlies (+340), but you can’t lay four-and-a-half times your potential return. It’s just not a sound long-term betting strategy. AVOID.
Against the spread (ATS)
LAKERS -9.5 (-110) is a good play despite the fact L.A. has covered just two of its past nine trips to Memphis. The Grizzlies +9.5 (-110) will not be their best against L.A. this time around, as missing Morant will just be too much.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 221.5 (-110) is the best play on the board in this Western Conference tilt. The Under has cashed in each of the previous five meetings on the banks of the Mississippi River, and eight consecutive meetings overall in this series. Until that trend starts to turn around, keep pounding the Under.
