Betting on the Los Angeles Lakers
- Regular Season Record: 29-32
The Los Angeles Lakers made a successful All-Star Game comeback by defeating the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks. However, they still have a disappointing record and are struggling to get into the play-in zone, from which they are 0.5 games away. So they know that from now on, every game will be crucial for them if they want to get into the playoffs.
However, if they want to hold their ground in that fight, they still have a lot of things to improve on, especially defensively, since they are one of the worst in the league with an average of 118.1 points allowed per game. The team’s effort on offense has been wasted, as they are the sixth most effective in the NBA with 117.1 points scored per game.
Betting on the Memphis Grizzlies
- Regular Season Record: 36-23
For their part, the Memphis Grizzlies seem to be starting to get back on their feet after almost a month of very inconsistent performance, and they are coming off a victory 94-112 over the Denver Nuggets in their last game. Despite that loss, the Grizzlies still remain 5.0 games behind the top of the Western Conference, which is occupied precisely by the Nuggets, so they need to be more solid if they want to snatch that place from Nikola Jokić’s team.
Ja Morant was the Grizzlies’ top performer in that game against the Nuggets with 23 points, four assists, and seven rebounds, something that has been common this campaign as the young point guard leads the team in offense with 27.0 points and 8.1 assists per game. Meanwhile, Desmond Bane is next on the list with 21.3 points and 4.1 assists per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The Memphis Grizzlies have been a nearly perfect team at home this campaign, posting a 25-5 record at home and an incredible average of 118.3 points scored per game, so they will surely know how to take advantage of the Lakers’ defensive shortcomings, as they have shown no confidence against any opponent.
As if that weren’t enough, the Grizzlies are also usually effective on their side of the court, limiting their opponents to a league-best 44.8% shooting percentage from the field, so the Lakers will have to be at their best to hurt them.
This time around, the Grizzlies look like the superior team, both on offense and defense, so we expect them to dominate the match and take a comfortable win.
Prediction: Memphis Grizzlies Spread.
