Los Angeles at Memphis

The Los Angeles Lakers are starting to play a lot better, even when LeBron James doesn't suit up, which may be the case again tonight. They had a huge win last night in Milwaukee where they came away wiyth an OT win to make it four straight in the win column. The Lakers are now 16-7 over their last 23 games, and appear to be ready to make some noise in the playoffs. Memphis is 24-48 on the season, as injuries have torn this team apart. The Grizzlies are not getting any better as they are 6-21 in their last 27 games, and for the season they are 5-25 SU against a team .550 or better. Memphis is just 12-19 SU vs. the Lakers in their last 31 meetings. The Grizzlies have been a home favorite to a .550 or better team just twice this season and failed to win or cover either, losing by an average of 23 PPG. Make the play on the Lakers.
