The Los Angeles Lakers play the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on Tipico Sportsbook.
The game tips off at 9:30 p.m. ET and can be seen on Spectrum SportsNet or Bally Sports Midwest.
Los Angeles has started the season with an 0-2 record after losses to the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns. Nothing has particularly gone well for L.A. besides LeBron James’ efficiency from the field.
The Memphis Grizzlies aren’t in the same tier as those two teams, but they’re still a young, gritty team that made the playoffs through the play-in tournament last year and should not be taken lightly.
Memphis will be on the second night of a back-to-back after beating the L.A. Clippers to go 2-0, so the Lakers will have the rest advantage.
Lakers at Grizzlies notable injuries:
Lakers: OUT – Trevor Ariza (ankle), Talen Horton-Tucker (thumb), Kendrick Nunn (knee), Wayne Ellington (hamstring)
Grizzlies: OUT – Dillon Brooks (hand)

Advice and prediction
The Grizzlies may be low on rest, but they’re a young team so that might not make too much of a difference. But with the experience L.A. has, L.A. should come away with its first win of the season. Memphis is a solid group, but the Lakers should not lose with the talent on hand.
Take the Lakers -5.5, Lakers -250 and the under 220.5.
Prediction: Lakers 108, Grizzlies 101
