Los Angeles Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies: Current situation
Going into the season Lakers fans were not very optimistic as their team did not make a splash in the offseason. They brought in new head coach JJ Redick and a couple of rotation pieces and that’s about it. There are some improvements to their play though, Anthony Davis might be playing the best basketball of his career right now and 39-year old LeBron James is once again proving he can still perform at a high level. The Lakers are the defending NBA Cup champions from last season, it will be interesting to see how far they go this year.
The 2023-24 season was a waste for the Memphis Grizzlies who dealt with all kinds of injuries and suspensions, finishing with a 27-55 record. That record gave them center Zach Edey who they drafted as the 9th pick. With him on board, the Grizzlies had big plans for this season, however they just lost Ja Morant for multiple weeks with a hip injury. At the moment Memphis ranks 5th in the West with 7 wins and 4 losses, but you would think without Morant they will drop a bit in the standings.
Los Angeles Lakers Stats & Form
With Anthony Davis leading the MVP race after the first 2 weeks of play, the Lakers find themselves in a solid position as they begin their quest to defend their NBA Cup crown. They are one of the healthier teams in the NBA which is always a good sign. After back-to-back wins over Philadelphia and Toronto, they close out this mini 3-game home stand with Wednesday’s game after which they play their next 2 games on the road. A win on Wednesday would match their longest win streak of the season at 3 games in a row.
Memphis Grizzlies Stats & Form
Despite not having Ja Morant in the last 2 games, the Grizzlies were able to overcome the Washington Wizards and Portland Trail Blazers with relative ease, however neither of those 2 teams possesses as much talent as the Lakers do. Jaren Jackson Jr. has been getting it done lately, he has now led the team in 3 straight games in the scoring department, his match-up with Anthony Davis will be must see TV here. Memphis has covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 games, which makes them one of the more reliable teams to bet on this season.
Los Angeles Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies: Head to Head
Ever since the Lakers beat the Grizzlies in the 2023 NBA Playoffs, this has been a heated affair whenever these two teams play. The Lakers came out on top in 3 of 4 regular season games last season, which means they’ve now won the regular season series in back-to-back seasons. Not only that, LA also leads the all-time regular season series with 66 wins to the Grizzlies’ 41 wins. Memphis did win the first meeting this season 131-114, played last week, however Ja Morant did play in that game.
Los Angeles Lakers – Memphis Grizzlies Odds

Betting tip and prediction: Los Angeles Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies (13.11.2024)
We have seen improvements by the Lakers in almost every aspect of play so far this season and that’s mainly thanks to new head coach JJ Redick. LA has improved from 22nd to 15th in opponent three-point percentage, while still maintaining their offensive productivity. Memphis has struggled a bit keeping opposing teams from scoring inside the paint, they’re allowing 51.3 points per game from inside in their last 3 games. It will be difficult for them to stop a player like Anthony Davis who can dominate both on the inside, but can also step out and hit the three-ball. Memphis also has to make a gameplan to stop LeBron James. The King is averaging almost 30 points per game in the last 5 meetings, he just torched them for 39 points in the first meeting of the season played less than a week ago. With Marcus Smart and Desmond Bane both being game-time decisions, plus Ja Morant out with injury, we just don’t think the Grizzlies have enough to compete here. Back the Lakers to cover the spread.
