Memphis at Los Angeles

Premium Pick

The Los Angeles Lakers are not used to losing, but their roster doesn't resemble anything close to what the history of this team has been all about. The Lakers are just 3-11 to start the season and here we are on the eve of Thanksgiving, and they have managed just a single home win. That is certainly reaching new lows in LA for this storied franchise. Kobe Bryant may be averaging 26.7 points per game, but at 38% from the field and 28% from deep, there is a price to get there. Memphis may be playing at arguably the highest level of any NBA team through 14 games as they are five points from being a perfect 14-0. Their last three wins have been their best three wins as they have won each by 16 points or more. The LA uniform still says Lakers across the chest, which will ensure the Grizzlies show up here, which means more trouble in LA. Lay the points on Memphis.
