Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers Predictions: Lakers Aim to Close Series Against Grizzlies

The Los Angeles Lakers face the Memphis Grizzlies in a pivotal game, aiming to close out the series. Both teams have had their struggles, but the Lakers have the edge in this match-up. We predict the Lakers will cover the -4.5 spread, and the game total will be under 218.0 points.

Lakers Dominance at Home

The Lakers have a strong home record against the Grizzlies this season, winning all four games played at home. With both teams relatively healthy, the potential absence of Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard due to a shoulder injury could be a significant factor as he’s been a primary perimeter threat for the visitors.

LeBron James Bounces Back

After struggling in Game 5 with just 15 points, we can expect LeBron James to bounce back with an aggressive performance. James should take advantage of match-ups against Grizzlies center Xavier Tillman to dominate the paint. On the other end, Anthony Davis will be crucial in slowing down Ja Morant, as he averages 4.2 blocks per game in the series.

Grizzlies Struggling with Efficiency

The Grizzlies rank dead last in true shooting percentage during this postseason and 12th in rebounding percentage. This inefficiency, combined with the Lakers’ ability to outscore the Grizzlies in second-chance points, should help the Lakers cover the spread.

Under 218.0 Points

This series has been characterized by low-scoring games, with only the opening game exceeding 219 points in regulation. With high stakes, we expect a tense defensive battle. Both teams possess elite rim protectors, and both have struggled from the perimeter in the postseason. If the struggles from distance continue, the under should hit.

Verdict

The Los Angeles Lakers have the advantage in this matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, and we predict they’ll cover the -4.5 spread. With both teams struggling from the perimeter and the presence of strong rim protectors, the game total should be under 218.0 points.
