The Los Angeles Lakers will conclude their first road trip of the season later on Tuesday evening against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Lakers are riding a three-game win-streak heading into Tuesday’s second game of a two-game set with the Grizzlies.
The Lakers appear to be hitting their stride after going 2-2 at home during the first few days of the season. On the road, the Lakers have shot the 3-pointer much better as well. The Lakers have shot over 40% from the 3-point line over their last 3 games on this road trip.
As for the Grizzlies, they are a plucky squad even without Ja Morant and jumped out to an early double-digit lead on Sunday against the Lakers. But the Lakers showed them it will take more than one great quarter to push them right now.
As of the latest NBA injury report, LeBron James and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are both listed as questionable for the Lakers while Alex Caruso remains out due to the league’s health and safety protocols.
