Grizzlies vs Lakers Prediction, Picks, and Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game

LeBron James has pivoted a bit into being an expert assists man in the twilight of his career. LBJ no longer needs to be an offense's focal point, and Anthony Davis has benefited from his shift and will do so again tonight.

My best bet
Anthony Davis Over 27.5 points (-115 at bet365)

My analysis
Anthony Davis has faced his fair share of criticism over the years due to numerous injuries. However, he’s stayed relatively healthy, and the Los Angeles Lakers big man is putting himself in the MVP conversation early on. 

Davis is averaging 31.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists while shooting 57% from the field. He’s recorded four double-doubles and has only missed one of the Lakers’ 10 games. In fact, AD has scored over 30 points in six appearances and has hit the Over in seven. 

While the 31-year-old scored just 22 points on Monday against the Toronto Raptors, he suffered an eye injury in the third quarter and didn’t return. That many points in just 25 minutes is impressive. Davis is expected to play tonight and happens to have recent success against the Memphis Grizzlies

In three games vs. the Grizzlies in 2023-24, Davis averaged 28.7 points. He’s also averaging 31 PPG in five home games this season.

Despite the eye injury, all signs point to AD being the star of the show for Los Angeles as they search for their seventh victory of the young campaign. 

Grizzlies vs Lakers same-game parlay

Anthony Davis Over 27.5 points

LeBron James Over 8.5 assists

Lakers moneyline

LeBron James may not be a perennial MVP candidate anymore but he’s still putting up ridiculous numbers for a 39-year-old. The King is averaging 23.2 points, 8.9 assists, and 7.7 rebounds while shooting an impressive 44.4% from 3-point land. 

Although James is scoring at a high rate, we’re focusing on his playmaking. Bron is dropping dimes on a nightly basis and truly makes everyone around him better. It’s an underrated skill in James’ game, especially in the latter stages of his career. 

The veteran has hit the Over in assists in four of the last five games and has dished out 29 dimes across the previous two contests. Yes, you read that correctly. He had 16 assists vs. Toronto and 13 against Philly on Saturday evening.

Memphis is a pretty solid defensive team but they don’t have Ja Morant and Bron is passing the rock with a ton of confidence. 

The Lakers have won four of the last six games against the Grizzlies and Ja is of course a massive piece who will be missed. To make matters worse for the visitors, Desmond Bane is also sidelined with an oblique injury.

The Grizzlies will be relying on Jaren Jackson Jr., Santi Aldama, and Scotty Pippen. The Lakers, meanwhile, have a relatively clean bill of health and are 5-0 on their home court.
