This is the second meeting of the season between the Grizzlies and Lakers with a few new faces and some missing. The Los Angeles Lakers are 6-4 this season and have won two straight before this meeting. Los Angeles lost 131-114 to the Memphis earlier this season but the Lakers didn’t have Anthony Davis in the lineup.
Davis is probable for tonight’s matchup and he leads the NBA with 31.2 points per game and 13th in rebounds (10.4 per game).
The Memphis Grizzlies are 7-4 on the season while being one of the most injury-riddled teams in the league. Memphis will be without Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and Marcus Smart for this matchup. The Grizzlies have won three straight and five of the last six games with all five wins coming by double-digits and the lone loss by two points to the Nets (106-104).

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Lakers to go Over their first-half Team Total of 58.5 points: “Memphis is coming off wins versus Washington and Portland since beating the Lakers.
The previous two wins are against two of the worst offenses in the NBA. The Grizzlies held Portland to 44 points and Washington to 48 points in the first half and ran away in those games. I believe the Lakers will give them more of a run for their money in the first half, especially since Anthony Davis didn’t play in the first meeting.
Los Angeles trailed 59-53 in the first meeting and I think they can score 60-plus this time. The Lakers scored 68, 74, 59, and 69 first-half points versus the Grizzlies last year. I like the L.
A. First Half Team Total Over 58.5.
