*NBA(1.5u): Lakers -3.5(-110) vs Grizzlies–8:40 PM CT
The Grizzlies beat the Lakers twice in the month of December, with both of those wins coming in Memphis. Now, this sets up as a double revenge spot for LeBron and the Lakers playing back at home against a Grizzlies team that is playing their 3rd game in 4 nights. This is also the Grizzlies’ 4th road game in their past 5 games before they travel back home to play the Warriors on Tuesday night. Since that Christmas Day loss to Brooklyn, the Lakers have won 5 of 6 and come into this game on a 4 game winning streak. This will be the last of a 5 game homestand that has stretched 10 days, giving the Lakers the major rest and travel advantage entering this matchup. After being beaten by this Grizzlies team twice fairly recently, I think the narrative changes in a major way tonight. Lakers win this one handily.
