The Memphis Grizzlies vs LA Lakers Game Prediction!
The Pick: LA Lakers -6.5 -110
The Memphis Grizzlies are managing to pull off wins even without some key players, but eventually, it's going to catch up with them. Missing Smart, Morant, Bane, and Jackson will definitely hurt them at some point. On the other hand, the LA Lakers are in good health, playing well, and they haven't forgotten about their loss to the Grizzlies last week. Morant made some comments after that game, and I'm sure LeBron and the rest of the team haven't forgotten. With home advantage and a more solid lineup, the Lakers are likely to come out on top. I'd go with the Lakers to cover the spread.
