Grizzlies vs. Lakers Odds, Pick, Prediction: Multiple Ways to Attack ... (The Action Network)

Andrew O'Connor-Watts previews Friday's NBA game between the Grizzlies and Lakers, including a betting prediction.

If the market moves that line out of range, I will also play the under down to 120 in the first half and the full game down to 242. The Lakers are 6-4 to the under in the first half and the Grizzlies are 7-3 to the under. To avoid any late-game meltdowns like Memphis had against Cleveland on Wednesday, I’ll play the Grizzlies in the first half. They’re just 5-5 against the spread at home, compared to their season record of 15-7, and a big reason is their lack of offense. The switch to have Russell Westbrook come off the bench and lead the second unit was a crucial change that has paid dividends, especially in the second quarter. The Grizzlies +22.5 Net Rating is tops in the league — also by a wide margin — according to NBA Advanced Stats.

Brooks and James make up our key matchup in this exciting matchup! Regardless, this matchup favors the Grizzlies quite a bit. The Grizzlies are an elite defensive team with Dillon Brooks and Jaren Jackson Jr wreaking havoc in the half-court. Memphis has its entire roster healthy, save Danny Green; however, even Green should be set to return in the next month or two.

He has become the frontrunner and betting favorite for defensive player of the year and has been the catalyst for the Grizzlies’ success on that end of the floor. Dillon Brooks has been one of the best wing defenders in the NBA this season and will force Lebron to work for his buckets. If that is the case, Memphis is 12-5 in clutch games this year, while LA is just 10-12. Since Desmond Bane’s return on December 23rd, the Grizzlies are 12-2, and all five starters have averaged double-figure scoring during their win streak. While the Grizzlies have been surging after a skid in late 2022, the Lakers have lost three of their last four after a promising stretch before the new year. It took a few games for them to click together again, but now that they are firing on all cylinders again, the Grizzlies look very tough to beat fully healthy. LeBron James just turned 38 years old, but he is in the midst of the 4th highest-scoring season of his career. is averaging over three blocks per game, which would lead the NBA if he met the criteria for games played, and also leads the Grizzlies in steals with 1.1 per game. During the stretch, the Grizzlies lead the NBA in defensive rating, rebounds, fast break points, and points in the paint while being second in both steals and blocks. On defense, the Grizzlies have the best rating in the NBA overall after being ranked 20th through mid-November. Against a Lakers team that gives up 53 points in the paint per game (25th in the NBA), look for the Grizzlies to play inside-out basketball. Two of the league’s top 10 scorers, James (29.3 PPG - 6th) and Ja Morant (27.4 PPG - 10th), face off in a game between two teams that are on different trajectories.

The Lakers and Grizzlies will tip off at 7 p.m. That flipped to a 14-point lead for the Kings late in the 3rd quarter, with the Lakers making one of their patented fake comebacks only to fumble the game away in the closing moments as they’ve been known to do this entire season. The Grizzlies would definitely fall in that category of team, as they are breathing down the 1st-seeded Nuggets’ backs with an active 11-game winning streak. Today is technically the two-week mark with As I noted above, it seems that one of the factors negatively impacting the Lakers at the moment is the amount of gas each player has in their respective tanks. Darvin Ham on AD: "He did jump in with the group today, did some non-contact stuff, pick-and-roll drills, a little offensive scripting. Because of that perceived fatigue, the cynic in me could see him sitting out Friday’s game vs. 16 that the evaluation was, indeed, fast approaching. LeBron James has continued to dominate even at his ripe age of 38, however, his jump shot has been terrible late in games as even he is showing signs of fatigue, even if it’s after 3.5 quarters of terrorizing the opponent’s defense. Schröder had 7 straight games with double-figure scoring as well, but has failed to do so in 4 straight contests.

NBA Odds: Grizzlies-Lakers prediction, pick, how to watch (ClutchPoints)

The Lakers host the Grizzlies for a fun battle on ESPN Friday night. It's time to continue our NBA odds series with a Grizzlies-Lakers prediction and pick.

If the Lakers can get back to playing as a team then they can cover this spread. LeBron was the only starter to score in double-figures in the loss to the Kings. If LeBron can manage to hold on tight for a bit longer then he might see the Lakers get back into the playoff picture. The Memphis Grizzlies are the hottest team in the NBA right now, yes, even over the Boston Celtics. The Lakers just cannot seem to put a winning streak together. The injury report remains the same for the Lakers as LeBron is questionable with ankle soreness. Outside of that, this team is healthy and that has been a huge reason for their success. He was playing elite ball before his injury and so were the Lakers as a team. It took an overtime win, but they defeated a great team who was missing their best player, Donovan Mitchell. LA is now (20-25) which places them in last in the division and 13th in the West. The Lakers are, however, just 2.5 games out of 6th in the West so if they can turn it around now then they can easily get back into the picture. Memphis is only a half-game behind the Nuggets for the top seed in the West.
