Grizzlies at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 110, Grizzlies 101

Moneyline

PASS.

The Lakers (-210) should win their 5th straight home game vs. the Grizzlies, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when Los Angeles should win by margin. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET LAKERS -4.5 (-110).

The Lakers should bounce back after getting blown out in Game 5. Los Angeles is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games after a loss by more than 10 points and has covered in 4 straight at home vs. Memphis.

The Grizzlies have struggled to string together good performances lately and are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games after a win. Memphis should struggle to keep it close Friday as James and the Lakers bounce back and clinch the series.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 220.5 (-110).

The Under is 5-1 in Memphis’ last 6 games after covering in its previous contest and 10-3-1 in Los Angeles’ last 14 vs. teams with a winning percentage above .600.

These teams have played low-scoring games vs. each other lately, with the Under going 17-5-1 in the last 23 meetings, and Friday’s matchup should stay under the total once again.

Los Angeles Lakers at Memphis Grizzlies Game 5 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Lakers at Memphis Grizzlies Game 5 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies play Game 5 of their Western Conference 1st-round series Wednesday at FedExForum. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Lakers vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Lakers lead the series 3-1 and are also 3-1 against the spread (ATS).

The Lakers covered the spread as 4.5-point home favorites in Game 4 with a 117-111 overtime win vs. the Grizzlies. F LeBron James had the 1st 20-20 game of his career with 22 points and 20 rebounds, making a contested layup with 0.1 seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime.

The Grizzlies were trailing by just 4 points in the final seconds of overtime before F Dillon Brooks committed a foul and sent Lakers G Austin Reaves to the free-throw line with 0.1 seconds remaining. G Desmond Bane led the Grizzlies with 36 points.

Lakers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 114, Lakers 105

Moneyline

PASS.

The Lakers should struggle to beat the Grizzlies (-185) 3 straight times, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when Memphis should win by margin. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -4.5 (-105).

The Grizzlies would’ve covered in Game 3 if Brooks didn’t commit an unnecessary foul at the end of the game. Memphis is a much better team when playing at FedExForum and is 8th in offensive efficiency at home vs. 24th when on the road.

The Lakers are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games in Memphis and should struggle to keep it close vs. a desperate Grizzlies team on the brink of elimination.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 222.5 (-105).

The Under would’ve hit in Game 3 if James didn’t make a contested layup to force overtime.

The Under is 10-3 in the Grizzlies’ last 13 games vs. teams with a winning record and 10-1-1 in the last 12 meetings between these teams in Memphis. Look for the Grizzlies’ defense to tighten up in Game 4 after blowing a 4th-quarter lead last time out.

Memphis Grizzlies at Los Angeles Lakers Game 4 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Los Angeles Lakers Game 4 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers play Game 4 of their Western Conference 1st-round series Monday at Crypto.com Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Lakers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Lakers lead the series 2-1 straight up and against the spread (ATS).

The Grizzlies failed to cover the spread as 4.5-point underdogs in Game 3 in a 111-101 loss at the Lakers. Memphis was outscored 35-9 in the 1st quarter and F Dillon Brooks was later ejected in the 3rd for striking Lakers F LeBron James in the groin. G Ja Morant scored 24 of his 45 points in the 4th quarter after returning from a 1-game absence with a sore hand.

C Anthony Davis led the Lakers with 31 points and 17 rebounds as they bounced back in Game 3 after failing to cover as 1-point underdogs in a 103-93 loss at the Grizzlies in Game 2.

The Under has hit in back-to-back games this series.

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.

Memphis Grizzlies at LA Lakers Game 3 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Los Angeles Lakers Game 3 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The LA Lakers host the Memphis Grizzlies at Crypto.com Arena Saturday. Tip in Game 3 of the Western Conference quarterfinals is set for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Lakers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Lakers beat the Grizzles in Game 1 128-112, but they came out a bit flat in Game 2, losing 103-93.

LA will return home, and all it needs to do is handle business at Crypto.com Arena. Los Angeles was led by F LeBron James in Game 2. He scored a team-high 28 points and 12 boards.

The Grizzlies, who played Game 2 without star G Ja Morant, were led by an unlikely effort from F Xavier Tillman, who was 10-for-13 from the field and scored 22 points. Memphis had all 5 starters in double figures.

Grizzlies at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 121, Grizzlies 114

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Lakers should come out with some steam at home, and at (-190), I wouldn’t back them to win outright given the price tag.

The Grizzlies at (+155) will be a popular underdog as the No. 2 seed takes to the road, but the Lakers were 5-1 in their last 6 home games. I would pass there as well.

Against the spread

BET LAKERS -4.5 (-115).

The comments between F Dillon Brooks and James should light a fire under the future 1st-ballot Hall of Famer, and the Grizzlies got one of the best games of Tillman’s career, which is unlikely to be repeated.

Memphis was just 6-12 against the spread (ATS) as an underdog this season as well, so it hasn’t performed well when not considered the better side. The Lakers were 3-2 ATS over their last 5 regular-season home games.

Lastly, both games ended with the winning team being up double figures, so they haven’t ended up close down the stretch yet, making the spread easier to get behind than a juiced moneyline.

Considering both trends and the likelihood James dominates in LA, back the LAKERS -4.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 221.5 (-115).

The Lakers are 9-2 O/U in their last 11 games and scored 128 on the Grizzlies in Game 1. They should bounce back offensively after scoring just 93 in Game 2.

The Grizzlies are 5-4 O/U in their last 9 games and ranked 8th in pace during the regular season. They play at a high tempo. Points should be scored in bunches given the pace (the Lakers sat 4th in pace during the regular season).

Take the OVER 221.5 (-115).

Los Angeles Lakers at Memphis Grizzlies Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Lakers at Memphis Grizzlies Game 2 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Lakers face off against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday for Game 2 of their 1st-round playoff series. Tip from FedExForum is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Los Angeles leads the series 1-0. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Lakers vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Lakers covered as 5-point road underdogs with a 128-112 victory in Game 1 Sunday. F Anthony Davis (22 points, 12 rebounds) and F LeBron James (21 points, 11 rebounds) each had double-doubles but it was F Rui Hachimura (29 points) and G Austin Reaves (23 points) who led the team in scoring. Los Angeles will look to capitalize again on bench production again as it tries to steal back-to-back road games to start the series.

Memphis was led by a 31-point showing from F Jaren Jackson Jr. followed by 22 points from G Desmond Bane and 18 from G Ja Morant before he left with a hand injury. Moving forward, it is the health of Morant which could most impact the remainder of this series for the Grizzlies.

Lakers at Grizzlies Game 2 picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 119, Grizzlies 115

Moneyline

PASS.

The spread presents a more profitable play on the Lakers compared to the moneyline.

Against the spread

LEAN LAKERS -1.5 (+100).

While the Lakers may not get as much production out of Reaves and Hachimura as they did in Game 1, their bench runs deep and they are expected to be fully healthy, something that will most likely impact the Grizzlies even if Morant decides to suit up.

The Grizzlies have been on a skid against the spread recently as well. They are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Wednesday games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 226.5 (-110).

The first game in the series went Over the 228 closing line by 12 points.

The Lakers have been hot on offense recently. They’ve scored 108 points or more in 19 straight games and have cashed the Over in 9 of their last 10 outings. The Over is 6-0 in their last 6 road games and 7-0 in their last 7 games following an outright victory.

The Over is 3-1 in the Grizzlies’ last 4 games and they’ve scored at least 100 points in each of their last 21 games.

Los Angeles Lakers at Memphis Grizzlies Game 1 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Lakers at Memphis Grizzlies Game 1 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The 7th-seeded Los Angeles Lakers take on the 2-seed Memphis Grizzlies Sunday in Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinals. Tip from FedExForum is set for 3 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Lakers vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Lakers took down the Minnesota Timberwolves 108-102 in overtime during the play-in tournament Tuesday. The books love the Lakers as they have them tied with Memphis at +1600 to win the NBA Championship. The Lakers are even shorter odds to come out of the West at +600 with Memphis +700.

Memphis went through some turmoil with G Ja Morant‘s suspension, but it didn’t miss a beat. The Grizzlies were 11-8 without Morant this season; they’re a deep team that can beat you from the perimeter and from the paint. G Desmond Bane took a huge step forward this year, averaging career-highs of 21.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game.

Lakers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 115, Lakers 111

Moneyline

The Lakers have won 2 of the last 3 meetings, and I like them to take 1 of these games in Memphis. The sharps are on Memphis, though, as 51% of the tickets are on the Lakers but 67% of the cash is on Memphis. That has steamed the Grizzlies up 10 cents Sunday morning.

I’ll take the GRIZZLIES (-165) IN REGULAR TIME.

Against the spread

Seven of the last 8 games between these teams have been decided by at least 5 points. A cause for concern, though, is Memphis was dead last in the league with a 73.3% free-throw percentage. I’m going to shy away from the spread and look to the total instead.

PASS.

One particular prop I do like is LEBRON JAMES OVER 8.5 REBOUNDS (-115). He had 10 boards in the play-in game and 9 the only time he faced Memphis this year.

Over/Under

The Under is 9-1-2 in the last 12 meetings in Memphis and 14-3-1 in the last 18 meetings overall. These teams will feel each other out early on, which should provide enough padding for the UNDER 228.5 (-115) to cash.

Memphis Grizzlies at Oklahoma City Thunder odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Oklahoma City Thunder odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies (51-30) close out the regular season on the road to face the Oklahoma City Thunder (39-42) Sunday. Tip from Paycom Center is set for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Thunder odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies are streaking to end the regular slate with a 7-3 mark in the last 10. They will wait for the winner between the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans as the 2-seed in the West. For this game, they’ll be resting 5 of their top 6 guys.

OKC snuck into the play-in tournament as the 10-seed and will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves next week. They have slumped down the stretch, going just 4-6 over the last 10. They’re resting their starters as well.

Grizzlies at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 110, Grizzlies 101

Moneyline

OKC will be led by 23-year-old G Isaiah Joe, who scored in double figures in 5 of the last 7 games. That includes a 2-game stretch where he dropped 33 and 20 in late March as he went 11-for-21 (52.4%) from the 3-point line. He’ll energize a young squad to close out their season at home with a win. The spread is miniscule and cheaper, though.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Thunder are 23-17 at home in what has been one of their best seasons in 4 years. OKC isn’t as deep as Memphis, but their depth contains more firepower than Memphis’ supporting cast. Memphis is also 16-24 on the road.

Take the THUNDER -1.5 (-110).

Over/Under

This is a really high total, and it figures to drop a few points once Memphis’ starters are fully ruled out. The O/U is under .500 for all 3 referees in this game, and with the skeleton squads on the court, we’ll LEAN UNDER 229.5 (-110).

Memphis beat the Clippers 108-94 to cover as a 5.5-point favorite on Friday. It has now won 8 of its last 10 games. The Grizzlies are 4-5-1 against the spread (ATS) in that stretch. This season, they are 36-39-2 ATS.

Chicago steamrolled Charlotte 121-91 on Friday to cover as an 11.5-point road favorite and snap a 2-game losing streak. The Bulls are 6-4 straight up and ATS in their last 10 games. This season, they are 37-37-3 ATS.

The Grizzlies took down the Bulls 104-89 to cover as 9.5-point home favorites on Feb. 7.

Grizzlies at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 109, Bulls 104

Moneyline

PASS.

The spread presents better value for a play on Memphis than the moneyline.

Against the spread

LEAN GRIZZLIES -2.5 (-105).

The Grizzlies have been playing well recently going 8-2 in their last 10 games and covering in 3 of their last 5. They rank top 10 in defensive scoring at 112.5 points per game (PPG) and 1st in opponent FG percentage (45.1%) while the Bulls offense ranks just 19th in scoring offense (113.4 ppg). Expect the Grizzlies to take over on Sunday and prevent a Chicago comeback thanks in part to their defense.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 225.5 (-110).

The Under is 7-1-1 in the Grizzlies’ last 9 games following a ATS victory and 5-1-1 in their last 7 games following an outright win of 10 or more points. The Under is also 3-1 in their last 4 games.

The Bulls have an O/U record of 34-42-1 this season pointing toward their inability to score a lot of points while the Under is also 4-1-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a winning outright record.

LA Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s LA Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The LA Clippers (41-36) visit the Memphis Grizzlies (48-28) on Friday. Tip from FedExForum is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Clippers vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

LA beat Memphis 141-132 on Wednesday to cover as a 2-point underdog. It has now won back to back games and is 7-3 in its last 10 games. The Clippers are also 7-3 against the spread (ATS) in the last 10 to improve to 39-38 ATS on the season.

The Grizzlies’ loss at home to the Clippers snapped a 7-game winning streak. In their last 10 games, the Grizzlies are 8-2 and 4-5-1 ATS. This season, Memphis is 35-39-2 ATS.

Clippers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 128, Clippers 120

Moneyline

PASS.

The moneyline odds do not present any profitable play on the Grizzlies in this matchup.

Against the spread

LEAN MEMPHIS -6.5 (-108).

Memphis is 22-15-2 at home this season and fully healthy as opposed to an LA team that is banged up. The Grizzlies have the best defense in the NBA in terms of opponent field goal percentage (45.2%) and rank 10th in opponent 3-point percentage (35.3%). They also rank 8th in the league in scoring offense (116.9).

With LA’s stars missing this game, it will struggle to find its groove and break the Grizzlies’ defensive pressure that will be exacerbated in front of their home crowd. The spread hitting or missing could hinge on whether SF Kawhi Leonard suits up for the Clippers or not.

Over/Under

BET OVER 235.5 (-110).

The Over is 4-0 in the Clippers’ last 4 games and 4-0 in their last 4 games playing on 1-day’s rest. The Over is 4-0 in the Grizzlies’ last 4 games following a ATS loss and 6-3 in their last 9 games.

The Over is also 6-0 in the last 6 meetings between these 2 teams and 5-2 in their last 7 meetings in Memphis.

Clippers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 120, Clippers 116

Moneyline

The Grizzlies (-190) are just a little too expensive for my liking for a singular bet, especially with Morant on the injury report. While coach Taylor Jenkins said Morant is expected to play in the 2nd half of the back-to-back after resting his injury against the lowly Magic on Tuesday, proceed with caution in this game.

PASS.

Against the spread

The CLIPPERS +4.5 (-105) are a decent play at almost even money catching a couple of buckets, although go lightly, with a half-unit play at best.

There is uncertainly with the Grizzlies -4.5 (-115), although reports state Morant should be available.

Still, the Clips are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 games on the road, and the Grizzlies are playing for a 2nd consecutive night. The Grizz could have some heavy legs.

Over/Under

The lean is to the OVER 234.5 (-110).

The Over has cashed in 5 straight meetings between these teams. The Over is also 21-8 in the last 29 road games for Los Angeles, while going 4-0 in the previoust 4 against teams with a winning overall record.

The Grizzlies have cashed the Over in 5 of the last 7 games overall, while going 5-1 in the last 6 after a non-cover. The Over is also 18-7-1 in the past 26 home games against teams with a winning road record.
