Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers Predictions 1/9/2022

The Los Angeles Lakers upset the Atlanta Hawks 134-118 at home, putting on one of their greatest offensive performances of the season. It was the Lakers’ third game in a row scoring 130 points or more, and their fifth match in a row covering the spread. The Lakers moved to 17-23 ATS after covering a -1.5 bet against the Hawks.

Los Angeles produced four more triples than the visitors and shot nearly 50.0 percent from the field (17-13). The Lakers had a 37-29 advantage in assists and forced 15 turnovers while committing only eight themselves.

The Lakers’ offense was led by LeBron James (32 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 steals, and 3 blocks) and Malik Monk (29 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals). Avery Bradley (21 points and six rebounds), Talen Horton-Tucker (21 points, 5 assists, and 2 steals), and Carmelo Anthony (17 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals) all contributed to the victory.

Russell Westbrook came close to a triple-double with nine points, 13 assists, and 11 rebounds in the game. Anthony Davis (MCL) and Kendrick Nunn (knee) are both on the shelf for the time being.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA pick for this game is the Los Angeles Lakers. Even though the Grizzlies are good against the spread on the road this season (13-5 ATS), they will be fatigued, and I doubt they will be able to handle LeBron James’ red-hot form sans Morant.

The Lakers are also playing well recently, and I expect them to win the last match of their five-game homestand. Los Angeles is in a stronger situation in terms of injuries and absences, and the Lakers have a greater chance of winning this game right now. The Los Angeles Lakers will win to a predicted score of 115-112.
