Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers Predictions 3/7/2023
The Los Angeles Lakers (31-34; 31-32-2 ATS) just defeated the Golden State Warriors 113-105 at home on Sunday. Being 5-point underdogs, Purple and Gold shocked the defending champs by winning their sixth game in a row.
The Lakers limited the Warriors to a 39.6% field goal percentage while converting 44.2% of their free throw attempts.
39 points were scored by Anthony Davis against Golden State on 14 of 25 field goal attempts and 10 of 13 free throw attempts.
As Austin Reaves recorded 16 points and eight assists, he added eight rebounds, six assists, and a few blocks.
Due to a foot ailment, LeBron James (29.5 PPG, 8.4 RPG, and 6.9 APG) missed four straight games and will be out for another three weeks.
After not playing since February 23, D’Angelo Russell (17.6 PPG, 6.1 APG) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against Memphis. Following an ankle injury last Sunday, Mo Bamba (6.8 PPG, 4.7 RPG) is also classified as questionable.
- The total went UNDER in 6 of the LA Lakers’ last 7 matches.
- The LA Lakers are 5-2 SU in their last 7 matches.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA pick for this game is the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are still vying for a playoff place, so anticipate them to fully capitalize on Memphis’ personnel issues.
Anthony Davis should dominate the Grizzlies in the paint even if D’Angelo Russell and Mo Bamba don’t play. Memphis will face a difficult challenge in slowing Davis down without Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke.
The Grizzlies offense is severely hampered by Ja Morant’s absence. LeBron James will be much missed by the Lakers, but Anthony Davis should make a difference.
Memphis is merely 1-10 SU and 3-8 ATS in its last 11 road games, while Los Angeles is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 matches overall and 3-1 ATS in its last four home performances.
The Los Angeles Lakers will win to a predicted score of 116-112.
