Los Angeles Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies Game Preview

In a Wednesday night showdown, the Los Angeles Lakers (41-32) will face off against the Memphis Grizzlies (24-48) at the FedExForum in Memphis. The game is scheduled to start at 8:00 PM ET.

The Lakers, coming off a game just yesterday, will be at a disadvantage due to the lack of rest between games. This could potentially impact their performance and chances of winning. Additionally, the Lakers had to travel cross-country for this road game, which could further hamper their chances.

Despite these challenges, the Lakers are still considered favorites for this matchup. The current spread stands at Lakers -4.0, indicating the expectation that they will win by at least four points. The moneyline for the Lakers is -185, suggesting a higher probability of them winning the game. On the other hand, the Grizzlies have a moneyline of +160, indicating a lower probability of victory.

The Lakers enter the game with momentum, having won their last four consecutive games. In their most recent outing, they pulled off an upset victory over the Milwaukee Bucks with a score of 128-124. The odds were stacked against them, as they entered the game as 9.5-point underdogs with only a 22% chance of winning.

The Grizzlies, on the other hand, have struggled recently, losing 32 of their last 50 games. They suffered a defeat in their previous game against the Denver Nuggets, with a final score of 128-103.

One player to keep an eye on in terms of betting is LeBron James. His points total has been a popular market for this game, attracting attention from bettors. The current line for his points is set at Under 25.5 (-105), with sharp bettors believing that the under may offer value.

As the Lakers and Grizzlies prepare to battle it out on the court, the odds favor the Lakers despite their challenging circumstances. Will the Lakers continue their winning streak, or can the Grizzlies defy the odds and come out on top? Only time will tell as these two teams clash in a highly anticipated matchup.
