Grizzlies vs Lakers SGP - November 13
LeBron James 25+ points
LeBron James 3+ threes
Lakers moneyline
The Memphis Grizzlies crushed the Los Angeles Lakers 131-114 when these teams last met on November 6.
One week later, they meet again, but we will see drastically different matchups due to injuries and changes in the rotations.
Grizzlies PG Ja Morant is sidelined, and while Anthony Davis is dealing with injuries of his own, he is expected to play after missing the first matchup with Memphis.
D'Angelo Russell has moved to the Lakers bench, and Cam Reddish is now in the starting lineup. JJ Redick finally decided he had enough with Russell in that last meeting, as video of the guard getting blocked by Jay Huff on a 3-pointer and the Lakers coach subsequently slamming his chair circulated.
While the Lakers and Grizzlies have a lot of moving parts in their lineups and rotations, there is one constant I want to attack tonight.
The Grizzlies have a ton of size, and their injuries are forcing them to play their bigs at the same time. When LeBron James is looking to drive the lane, he's staring at a wall made up of Huff, Jaren Jackson Jr., Zach Edey, Santi Aldama, and Brandon Clarke. This will lead to James pulling more 3-pointers, and he shot 11 of them vs. the Grizzlies a week ago.
If James is going to score 25+ points tonight, it's going to be on the back of his three-point shooting because of the matchup with the Grizzlies. If James is shooting way more 3-pointers than he typically does, the points can stack up quickly. With his normal points total sitting at 23.5, this creates a spot where we can attack a plus-money price on 25+ and use it in our same-Game parlay.
The matchup with the Grizzlies should also lead to more kickouts and passes from Davis, as he will be facing a ton of size on the interior. Davis will be able to collapse the defense and look for shooters, which will also help James generate more threes.
For the last leg of the SGP, I used the Lakers' moneyline because the Grizzlies and Morant were talking the talk after beating them last Wednesday. Morant is out and Davis is in for the rematch, and I’m sure Redick & Co. will want to send a message.
I love the move by Redick to add Reddish back into the starting lineup, and his 7-foot-1 wingspan could be extremely disruptive to Scotty Pippen Jr., who the Grizzlies will rely on to create offense on Wednesday.
