Memphis at Los Angeles

Premium Pick

Los Angeles is in the best form it has been all season and the Lakers are getting better each game as their revised lineup from earlier in the season gets even more comfortable with each other. Memphis appears to be mentally unsettled as Dillon Brooks continued his ridiculous comments about LeBron James and then Brooks got thrown out of Game 3 for punching James in the groin. Ja Morant scored 45 points on Saturday, but Anthony Davis countered with 31 points and 17 rebounds. The Grizzlies scored only nine points in the first quarter and 37 for the half and look for more of the same tonight. Los Angeles has won and covered four of the past six meetings and the Grizzlies are 4-9 ATS their past 13 conference quarterfinal games. Memphis is 10-2 UNDER versus teams with winning records and 14-6 UNDER after a loss. The UNDER is 11-5 in the Lakers' past 16 home contests. Take the Lakers for the game as a Max Play and the first half UNDER.
