Grizzlies at Lakers picks and predictions
Prediction
Lakers 110, Grizzlies 108
Moneyline
PASS.
The Lakers (-200) should win once again at home, but they’re being slightly overvalued on the moneyline. Bet the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
BET GRIZZLIES +4.5 (-105).
Memphis should bounce back after its lowest-scoring 1st quarter in franchise history. The Grizzlies outplayed the Lakers in the final 3 quarters of Game 2, but were already in too deep of a hole to pull off the backdoor cover. The Lakers have struggled to string together good performances lately and are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after a win.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 221.5 (-110).
The Under is 10-2 in Memphis’ last 12 games vs. teams with a winning record and 4-1-1 in Los Angeles’ last 6 in the same situation.
These teams have been playing low-scoring games vs. each other lately, with the Under going 16-4-1 in the last 21 meetings, and Game 4 should be another slow-paced matchup.
