Prediction

The two teams have met twice this season, with each team winning one game. Looking at the games, the Lakers found it much harder to win, and both of those matchups were when the Grizzlies were struggling with numerous injuries. In this upcoming matchup, the Lakers will have a tough time against the Grizzlies’ physical frontcourt, as the Lakers lack support from the three-point line. Even with LeBron James back, it’s unlikely he can save the Lakers.

Pick: Grizzlies -4.5 (bet365)
