Lakers at Grizzlies: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Lakers 110, Grizzlies 91
Money line (ML)
The Grizzlies are without their best players Tuesday. While the Lakers could be without James, the talent level is uneven. Memphis has won only one game at home and the Lakers have won three in a row overall, including a 108-94 win two nights ago over the Grizzlies.
Take the LAKERS -455.
Against the spread (ATS)
The Lakers have been favored by at least 9.5 points twice this season. They won and covered the spread in both those games. Memphis has lost and failed to cover both games this season in which it has been at least a 7-point underdog. Without Morant or Jackson, it will be another rough night.
Take the LAKERS -8.5 (-120).
Over/Under (O/U)
The Lakers’ last five games have gone Under. Four of the last five for Memphis have as well, including when the two teams played Sunday. Memphis will be held under 100 points for the second game in a row.
Take UNDER 217.5 POINTS (-105).
