Lakers vs. Grizzlies Predictions

The Grizzlies looked overmatched in Game 3, ultimately losing 101-111. The Lakers had a 35-9 lead after the first quarter. Memphis eventually chipped away to make the final score more respectable, but Los Angeles ran away with this game.

Not many public bettors want to put money on the Grizzlies after that poor outing, but the “zig-zag theory” is in full effect here. If you recall, the zig-zag theory suggests taking the team that lost outright in the previous game and bet them on the spread. That would be Grizzlies +4.5 in this case.

Memphis needs a win desperately, and they’ll have plenty of motivation to redeem themselves after Saturday’s quagmire. This should be a tight game throughout, so let’s take the Grizzlies getting 4.5 points.

Ja Morant was electric last game with 45 points, 13 assists, and nine rebounds. If he can get a little bit of help, then Memphis has a chance to win this game outright.
