Grizzlies at Lakers picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 122, Lakers 113
Moneyline
The Grizzlies (-175) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s just a little too expensive for a standalone wager, especially for a team playing on the road.
However, the Lakers (+145) have won just 3 times in the past 11 games and cannot be trusted, even at home.
PASS.
Against the spread
Back the GRIZZLIES -3.5 (-115) laying the points on the road. The Lakers +3.5 (-105) have managed to cover just 3 times in the past 13 outings.
Memphis has covered 4 games in a row, while going 15-3 ATS in the past 18 games since Nov. 6. The Grizzlies are also 6-1 ATS in the past 7 outings on the road.
While the Lakers have won 3 of the past 4 meetings in this series, the Grizzlies have covered 3 in a row, while going 4-1 ATS in the past 5 meetings.
Over/Under
OVER 232.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play.
The Over has cashed in 6 consecutive meetings since Nov. 14, 2023. The total has gone high in 3 straight games for the Grizzlies, too, while cashing at a 8-4 clip in the past 12 outings.
For the Lakers, the Under has cashed in the past 2 games, but the total has split 2-2 in the past 4 outings.
