Game Preview
Long-standing ties exist between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Lakers. Jerry West took over the Grizzlies when he departed the Lakers. When the Lakers wanted a Gasol sibling to play alongside Kobe Bryant, they acquired Pau from the Grizzlies. In exchange, the Grizzlies stole the then-unknown Marc Gasol from the Lakers.
Lionel Hollins and David Fizdale, two former Grizzlies head coaches, have recently worked for the Lakers. The Grizzlies and Fox Sports broadcaster Shannon Sharpe memorably fought when the two teams met in January.
The Lakers and Grizzlies have never truly faced off in the postseason, despite their connections and rivalries ,until now. The Lakers secured the No. 7 seed and the opportunity to play the Grizzlies in the opening round when they defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in the opening game of the Western Conference Play-In Tournament.
Let’s check the latest picks, NBA news, stats and NBA expert picks for Lakers vs Grizzlies. We’ve plenty of NBA predictions for you to consider.
The Lakers are not your typical No. 7 seed; only five No. 7 seeds have ever defeated No. 2 seeds in the first round. The Lakers may have the two best players in this series with LeBron James and Anthony Davis in place. Since they reorganized their roster at the deadline, they are now 19-8.
This does not conflict. The second-best regular-season squad in the Western Conference can be defeated by the Lakers since they are a prior champion with all the necessary resources. Will they, though?
In general, if the Lakers want to win this series, Davis must perform at the level of an exceptional scorer that he has already proven he is capable of. James, as well as players like D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves, will undoubtedly be needed for buckets, but Davis must serve as the offense’s centerpiece. Morant will definitely have his fair share of buckets for the Grizzlies throughout this series, there is no question about it.
