Grizzlies at Lakers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Lakers 117, Grizzlies 114
Money line (ML)
PASS on the money line as the Lakers have played in three-straight overtime games. Without knowing the status of Davis, there just isn’t enough value for the Lakers, but it’s tough to bet on the 10-10 Grizzlies.
Instead, look at the spread as it provides a better bet on Memphis.

Against the spread (ATS)
The GRIZZLIES +7.5 (-110) are a good bet in this game considering how poorly the Lakers have played of late. Despite winning six-straight games, the Lakers are just 2-7 against the spread in their last nine games and have let the Oklahoma City Thunder and Detroit Pistons, take them to overtime in recent contests.
While we aren’t sure Memphis will win this game, we feel confident they can stay within 7 points and keep this one close.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 220.5 (-110) is the smart play as both offenses are averaging over 110 points per game this season. Los Angeles has the fifth-ranked scoring offense at home this year, scoring nearly 118 points per game.
Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are allowing 110.9 points per game, which is good for 10th in the NBA. Both squads have an above-average defense, but the scoring shouldn’t be a problem for either team.
Look for each team to score into the 110s and for the Over to hit.
