The Grizzlies shot just 35.4 percent from the field in Saturday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Memphis appeared to have the game in the bag until Brandon Knight converted on a three-point play with 1.1 seconds remaining to put the Bucks ahead 93-92 on his home court, putting an end to the Grizzlies’ best start to a season in the history of the franchise.

Power forward Zach Randolph had 22 points and 14 rebound s in that game. But the Grizzlies’ bench was outscored 46-27 on Saturday. That unit ranks near the bottom of the league, chipping in just 20.4 points per game. The team also allowed Bucks reserve guard Giannis Antetokounmpo score a career-high 18 points.

Grizzlies head coach Dave Joerger stated earlier in the season that each game was particularly important with the team jockeying for position in a loaded Western Conference, so a loss to the lowly Bucks hit particularly hard.

As for the Lakers, they ended their worst start in 57 years with a 107-92 home win over the Charlotte Hornets on Snuday. Kobe Bryant hit on 7 of his 20 shots from the field for 21 points, while points guard Jeremy Lin scored 21 on 8-of-12 shooting, adding seven assists. Lin has 39 points over the team’s last two games after scoring 36 in their first four.

4* FREE Lakers vs Grizzlies Pick:

While the Grizzlies may be coming off a loss and the Lakers may be coming off a victory, it’s painfully clear which is the better side in this one. The Grizzlies have also controlled the series, winning two in a row and six of eight against the Lakers, a stretch which includes wins in three of the last four meetings in Memphis.

Additionally, the Grizzlies like to put the clamps down on defense, particularly on their home court, so this total feels pretty high for a game in Memphis.

NBA Betting Trends:

The Grizzlies are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games played on a Tuesday, and they are 16-6-2 ATS in their last 24 games against Pacific Division opponents.

The under is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these teams, and it is 4-1 in the Grizzlies’ last five games overall.

The play: Grizzlies -10, Under 196.5

The Lakers don’t play a lot of defense, but they’ll have enough trouble scoring to keep this game below the number.
