BEATDOWN ON THE HARDWOOD
(NBA) Lakers (LAL) vs. Grizzlies (MEM),
Point Spread: -1.50 | -105.00 Lakers (LAL) (Away)
Result: Loss
The Los Angeles Lakers are on the road to take on the Memphis Grizzlies. Both teams are coming off losses last time out. LA won three of the four meetings last season. The Lakers have lost three of their last four. They are 4-3 and are tied for third in the Pacific Division. The Lakers are 9th in scoring offense at 116.1 points per game. They are 24th in scoring defense, allowing 118.4 points a game. Davis was injured Monday and is considered day-to-day. Memphis had won two in a row before their last loss. They are 4-4 on the season and are second in the Southwest Division. The Grizzlies are 8th in scoring offense at 117.1 points per game this season. On the defensive end, they allow 115 points a game which is 18th. Memphis is dealing with many injuries to key depth players but the Lakers are dealing with the biggest injury in Davis. Even without Davis, I look for the Veterans on the Lakers to step up and pick up a much-needed win on the road.

Play on LA Lakers. This is a 2% play.
