Betting on the Memphis Grizzlies
- Regular season record: 38-24.
The Memphis Grizzlies, led by coach Taylor Jenkins, have been one of the most surprising teams of the regular NBA season. With a record of 38-24, they currently hold the second spot in the Western Conference, trailing only the Denver Nuggets. However, in their most recent game, they suffered a tough loss to the Nuggets with a score of 113-97.
Unfortunately, there’s more bad news for Memphis as their star point guard, Ja Morant, has been suspended for two games due to off-court issues.
It was recently revealed that Morant threatened a 17-year-old with a gun and had a confrontation with a security guard. While Morant publicly apologized and pledged to improve himself, his absence from this crucial game is a significant blow to the team. Without Morant, the Grizzlies may struggle to generate their usual offensive output, making it more likely for them to have a low-scoring game on their upcoming visit.
Betting on the Los Angeles Lakers
- Regular season record: 30-34.
However, the Los Angeles Lakers are not in a great position either. In their last game, they suffered a tough 102-110 defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are in contention for a spot in the Play-In tournament. Despite Anthony Davis’ impressive 38-point performance, the Lakers suffered their second loss in three games.
The team was dealt another blow with LeBron James’ recent injury to his right foot tendon, which has raised concerns within the franchise. Currently in eleventh place, the Lakers face an uphill battle without their star player, who will be re-evaluated in three weeks.
Additionally, their record at the Crypto.com Arena is only at .500 with 15 wins and 15 losses, adding to the team’s struggles as they head into the upcoming game against the Grizzlies.
JefeBet Prediction
Without their franchise players, but with important names, both teams know they have a lot at stake this Tuesday. The visitors are aware that a loss could move them to third place if the Sacramento Kings do well in their own game. The same goes for Los Angeles, which has the Oklahoma City Thunder hot on its heels.
However, there is a precedent that could mark the future of this game. As if Morant’s absence wasn’t enough, Memphis is on a five-game losing streak on the road, nine of them in its last 10 games. Moreover, it was recently confirmed that Brandon Clarke suffered a tough injury that will keep him away from the courts for the rest of the season. For this reason, in view of the Grizzlies vs Lakers, JefeBet is leaning towards a home win.
Prediction: Los Angeles Lakers Moneyline and Under.
