Memphis at LA Free PIck 03/07/23
The Los Angeles Lakers are a struggling team, with a record of 31-34 and a mediocre ATS record of 31-31-3. However, they have some positive trends on their side, including a 5-2 ATS record in their last seven games and a 5-2 SU record in their last seven games. The Grizzlies, on the other hand, have a strong record of 38-25 but a slightly below-average ATS record of 30-31-2. Looking at the power stats, the Grizzlies have a slight advantage in rebounds and shooting percentage. However, the Lakers have been playing well defensively, with the total going under in six of their last seven games. Additionally, the Lakers have a strong record against the Grizzlies, with a 4-2 ATS record in their last six home games against the Grizzlies and a 5-1 SU record in their last six home games against the Grizzlies. Considering all of this information, I believe the Los Angeles Lakers will win this game, covering the spread of -2. The total is set at 226.5, and I believe the total will go under, with both teams struggling offensively lately and the Lakers playing well defensively.
