In their win over the Kings in their last game the Grizzlies shot 50% from the floor and held the Kings to 43.1% shooting. Memphis broke the game open in the 3rd quarter outscoring Sacramento by 10 points.
In the Kings game Mike Conley went for 22 points and the bench stepped up with three players that scored at least 11 points. Team scoring leader Marc Gasol, who anchors the great defense, only went for 2 points on 0/6 shooting and he is questionable for this game after exiting the Kings’ game with an ankle injury.
The Grizzlies have 5 players that are averaging in double figures and if Gasol cannot go super-sub Zach Randolph and JaMychal Green will have to take up the slack on offense and on the boards.
The Grizzlies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games facing the Lakers.

The Grizzlies are 9-7 on the road this season.
L.A. Lakers
The Lakers rank 18th in the league in points per game and 27th in opponents’ points per game.
In the loss to the Raptors in the game the Lakers struggled on both ends of the floor shooting only 40.2% while allowing Toronto to shoot 56%. The Lakers lost by 9 points even though they forced 16 turnovers and only committed 8.
In the loss to the Raptors D’Angelo Russell and Nick Young combined for 54 points and both shot the rock well, but the rest of the starters did not. Julius Randle went for 15 points and had 9 boards, but was only 3/10 from the floor.
The Lakers have to play better perimeter D in this game than they did in the Toronto game where they allowed the G duo of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan to combine for 72 points.
The Lakers have the scoring, but they need to shore up the D, which they have not been able to do in the past few weeks.
In the first match up between these teams in Memphis the Grizzlies beat the Lakers 103-100.
