The Los Angeles Lakers play the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
Los Angeles (13-12) is playing five of its next six games on the road, and it starts with the Grizzlies, a team it has already defeated once. After beating the Boston Celtics in impressive fashion, LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook need to capitalize on the momentum and defeat a Grizzlies squad missing Ja Morant. This will go down as an important victory for L.A. if a win happens.
Memphis (14-11) has posted a 5-1 record since Morant went down, and he recently entered health and safety protocols after testing positive for COVID-19. The Grizzlies will be on the second night of a back-to-back after losing to the Dallas Mavericks, so the Lakers can take advantage with fresher legs. Brandon Clarke and Kyle Anderson also missed the Mavericks game, so Memphis could be short on frontcourt depth against LeBron and Davis.
Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:
