I was going to play the Lakers moneyline if both Ja Morant and Desmond Bane were out for Memphis as both were iffy, but apparently will play. I still think this total is too high, though, as the Grizz don't have second-leading scorer Dillon Brooks or Steven Adams. When these clubs played in late December in Memphis, only 203 points were scored. The SportsLine Projection Model has 217 being scored this time.

This is a no bet if Ja Morant (thigh) plays for Memphis. The Lakers won the last meeting in LA and it has taken some heroic performances by Morant versus LA recently that led to Memphis wins. The Lakers have been playing with more continuity as of late, they are at home and they win this game by five or more. In LeBron I trust!
