Free Memphis Grizzlies vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
Keep an eye on the injury updates ahead of this contest. As of this writing late Thursday night, LeBron James has been downgraded from “probable” to “quesitonable.”
LeBron’s Status In Flux
This has been a theme so far this season. LeBron’s status of day-to-day hasn’t earned him a new nickname like Anthony “Day To” Davis…but as elite as he remains and as badly as the Lakers need him, he’s not an automatic suit-up night in and night out at this point in his career.
Without completely copping out, LeBron’s status makes or break this call. At +6.5, the Lakers are appropriate underdogs without LeBron. But if he suits up, at home nonetheless, the Lakers become the pick against the spread.
The safe pick, either way, is Memphis straight up. Even if LeBron plays, these two teams are on different levels as we delve into the second half of the 2022-23 regular season schedule.
But right now, if LeBron plays, he’s motivated to not just make the playoffs but finally pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring mark, and he’s going to play like it.
That enough will be what gives the Lakers a win against the spread on Friday. IF he plays.
