Recommended Bets and Updated Odds

Recommended Odds	FanDuel	BetMGM
Austin Reaves O 29.5 Points	-132	–
Ja Morant O 25.5 Points	-118	–
Total O 237.5 Points	-110	-110

Analysis and Rationale

Ja Morant has proved to be the Grizzlies offensive engine, erupting for an average of 23.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game. In the previous game, he dropped 28 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. In the ongoing season, Morant has been shooting 43.5% from the field and 19.2% from beyond the arc. Considering that the Lakers have a depleted backcourt due to injuries, we can expect Morant to exploit to post over 25 points.

Austin Reaves has shouldered the Lakers’ scoring responsibility in the absence of key players including Luka Doncic and LeBron James. He is averaging 34.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 10.0 assists per game, while shooting 53.5% from the field and 38.5% from beyond the arc. Not only this, but he is now the first Laker to start a season with five straight 25-point games since Kobe Bryant in 2005. Reaves is currently in momentum, and him posting over 30 points looks achievable on Friday.

The Memphis Grizzlies are known for pace, playing at a breakneck speed and pushing the ball for quick buckets. On the other hand, the Lakers are open offensively, and pour in points with some resistance. Both teams are known for their speed, and fire away from the deep which lead to chaotic high-scoring games. Considering this, we can expect a fast, loose and high-energy game with scoring over 236.5 points.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers Predictions

The Memphis Grizzlies are dominant at home, winning two of their three games so far. They boast a deeper bench, and rank 20th with an offensive rating of 112.5. They are scoring 120.4 points on an average in the ongoing season, which places them in the top ten. However, their injury report stings. The Grizzlies have Brandon Clarke, Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr, and Zach Edey listed on their injury report, thinning their frontcourt depth.

The Lakers, on the other hand, are undefeated on the road, with a 2-0 record. However, they are plagued by the absence of key players including LeBron James, Gabe Vincent, Maxi Kleber, and more. While Luka Doncic and Marcus Smart are listed as questionable, their availability will play a key role for the Lakers.

We think that Memphis Grizzlies’ home edge and availability of players such as Ja Morant would overwhelm the Lakers’ short-handed lineup. However, Austin Reaves would keep the game tight, leading to the hosts pulling a statement win.

Predictions: Memphis Grizzlies to win.
