Lakers vs. Grizzlies prediction and analysisThe Lakers have seen their odds climb in the hours ahead of Game 4, and there’s a chance this number is even a tick higher immediately before tip-off. Still, in a series defined by blowouts, I’ll happily pay the price for another big win for the superior team in this matchup.
The Grizzlies padded the stat sheet late to cut the final margin to 10, marking the second double-digit win for the Lakers in three games thus far.Coming into this series, we knew that Memphis’ lack of size without Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke could loom large.Entering Monday, the Lakers have scored 49.4% of their points in the paint , the most of any team in the postseason.Getty Images
