ROGERS' 10* NBA BEST OF THE BEST (SATURDAY)
(NBA) Memphis vs. LA Lakers,
Point Spread: -4.50 | -110.00 LA Lakers (Home)
Result: Win
Ja Morant remains questionable for Game 3, but regardless if the Memphis’ star plays or not, I’m rolling with the Lakers.
LA took Game 1 128-112, thanks to four different players scoring 20 or more points. Predictably, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura cooled off in Game 2 and the Grizzlies, at home, were able to win without Ja, 103-93 as slight underdogs.
But now the Grizz are on the road where they’ve gone just 14-26-2 ATS this season and they may be without their best player yet again.
Outside of LeBron James and Hachimura, the rest of the Lakers shot just 24.2% in Game 2. That number will go up by a lot here in Game 3.
Memphis is 0-5 ATS the last five games off a SU win and 1-7-1 ATS their last 9 games after an ATS win. 10*
