10* TOP WED. TOTAL (+$23K HOOPS!)
(NBA) LA Lakers vs. Memphis,
Total: 225.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the UNDER Lakers/Grizzlies.

The Lakers snapped a five-game slide with 132-123 win at Houston last night. The last thing that The King and company can do here though is to turn this one into another "track meet" and expect to hang with the Grizz.

This is a revenge game for the Lakers, who fell 108-95 to Memphis on December 9th. That's signficant to note as well because LA has in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which it was held to 99 or fewer points in.

Memphis beat Sacramento 127-102, then it carried that momentum over in a big 114-113 win at Phoenix on the 27th. The Grizz have now seen the total go OVER the number in three straight, and that's significant to note as well, as note that Memphis has seen the total go UNDER the number in ten of its last 13 after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row.

I say we see a more methodically-paced affair tonight, and that's going to help in driving this total well UNDER the posted number once it's all said and done.

Good luck, NP
