The current betting odds have the Lakers listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Lakers have looked good in their games this season with their 6-4 record overall which has them in the middle of the West at the moment. They have looked great in their home games this season with their 5-0 home record and they are starting to gain momentum again with 2 wins in a row now. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have also looked good in their games this season with their 7-4 record overall which has them in the top half of the West. They are 3-2 in their road games and have also looked good lately with 3 wins in a row, but they are also missing a lot of key players in their lineup. They have been missing multiple starters in their games lately and even though they have still looked good with their bench depth stepping up, they have also been getting by against weaker teams. They are going to feel the loss of some of their best players in this game with the Lakers starting to gain some steam again. The Lakers had a really hot start to the season and started to fumble a bit when they hit the road, but now they have won 2 games in a row again and they have looked like a different team on their home court all season. The Lakers can take advantage of the missing players in the Grizzlies lineup and they will be able to knock them down a peg on their home court. The best way to place a bet here is on the Lakers to cover the spread in this game.
