Grizzlies vs Lakers Betting Picks cap off Monday night for the NBA schedule. This time, we head back to La La Land as the Los Angeles Lakers try to fend off the young Memphis Grizzlies. That would give the Lakers a commanding 3-1 series land if they can. Despite all their flaws, one sees the immense potential in Los Angeles making a deep playoff run with this team.
This Darvin Ham-coached team possesses a lot to like. Los Angeles plays at one of the faster paces in the league (101.3 ranks third). Now, what surprises many is that this Lakers team is capable of funneling their defense. That allowed them to not worry about Ja Morant. Instead, letting Morant go off while clamping down on the other Grizzlies allowed the Lakers to coast at home. That huge first quarter was incredible.
So, LeBron James did not make a statement as much as the Lakers did. Crazy enough, Memphis did outscore the Lakers by 16 over the final three quarters. However, the game was over after the Dillon Brooks poke. Los Angeles scored 35 of the first 44 points and never looked back. Despite its flaws, Memphis awoke the Lakers in a way few had seen since 2020.
Early outlooks suggest tilting to the Lakers to cover again with a small wager at (-110). A 4.5-point cover (down from 5.0 already) is not that difficult. Remember that Memphis expects to rebound some, but look out once LeBron and company are motivated! Memphis appears to be in real trouble in the Grizzlies vs Lakers Betting Picks.
When it comes to the Grizzlies vs Lakers Betting Picks, some margins may be in the offerings as well. This boils down to the tiniest of money wagers. Now, it is okay to toss 0.1 units or less here (a few dollars even) on the winning margin for Game 4 between Memphis and Los Angeles. Does anyone expect Los Angeles to win by more than 20 points? That answer comes down in a resounding No! The same goes for Memphis.
VegasBetting looks into Memphis as the possibility of a hedge. The Lakers scare people as their flaws are well documented. Even in Game 3, Los Angeles let up a little, which may have been wise. Resting players even a fraction allowed a player like Rui Hachimura to go off for 16 points on 6-for-10 shooting. That depth of scoring figures to pay dividends against a Memphis team that has looked little like last year’s team.
Also, Anthony Davis will play in Game 3. Los Angeles they are like fine China with its players in some ways. Memphis had few answers defensively early, and the same could hold on Monday. The key for Los Angeles will be to not let off the gas pedal in what expects to be a closer game. Davis carries the best defensive rating on the Lakers by a wide margin (90). When he is on the court, Memphis has its issues.
Will Morant and Memphis get going early? NBA online betting sites count on them playing improved basketball, but for the Lakers to close the door late in Game 4. Every game in this series has been decided by ten or more points, but this fourth game could be decided by single digits. Our modest bet involves picking the Lakers to win by 7-9 points on Monday via making their foul shots (22-27 in Game 3).
The Grizzlies vs Lakers Betting Picks asks are looking for more from this fun nightcap? Granted, many avenues are at our disposal to explore. Player point props come in chiefly, but the point and rebound props and PRA (points-rebounds-assists) are too. Anthony Davis at 40.5 is a mere -110, while Ja Morant at 43.5 is only -115. Do not expect those to last as game time approaches.
NBA online game and player prop bets like bumping up the under on Monday night. This worked in Game 3 of the Boston-Atlanta series almost too well the other way. So, 217.5 at +120 is solid. However, 220.5 is the current line, and it seems like this may come down. Watch the number if it goes below 220 because alternatives will drift closer to even.
The Davis and Morant point props are at 25.5 and 28.5, respectively, at -110. Do not overthink those too much. Also, expect Davis to go double-digit on rebounds and Morant to approach that in assists. The chances that Morant gets eight assists at -140 is too easy. Going up to 9.5 at EVEN is more of a challenge if the numbers are out there.
Finally, LeBron James, under of 43.5 for PRA is in play at -115. He may not have to do as much heavy lifting again, as the Los Angeles depth can be more of a difference in Game 4.
At VegasBetting, we wish everyone good luck this Monday.
