NBA | Memphis 121 @ L.A. Lakers 122 | 01/21 | 3:00 AM UTC
Memphis -6 -110
LOSS
ANALYSIS: The Grizzlies are a tough matchup for the Lakers. They are young, athletic and they can clog the paint on the defensive end with Jaren Jackson Jr. and Steven Adams. They have allowed the fourth-fewest points in the paint per game in the league, so the Lakers might be forced to take more three-pointers. That’s not their strong suit, since they have the sixth-worst three-point shooting percentage in the league. Even though this is a big number for the Grizzlies to cover, they are on an 11-game winning streak in which eight of those victories came by at least seven points.
