What to Know

The Los Angeles Lakers will stay at home another game and welcome the Memphis Grizzlies at 9:30 p.m. ET Jan. 9 at Crypto.com Arena. These two teams have set a high bar for this game after stand-out offensive performances in their previous games.

The Lakers strolled past the Atlanta Hawks with points to spare this past Friday, taking the game 134-118. It was another big night for Los Angeles’ small forward LeBron James, who had 32 points and nine assists in addition to eight boards and three blocks.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the matchup between the Grizz and the Los Angeles Clippers this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as Memphis wrapped it up with a 123-108 win on the road. Memphis can attribute much of their success to power forward Jaren Jackson Jr., who had 26 points along with eight rebounds and five blocks.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Los Angeles is expected to win a tight contest Sunday. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The Lakers are now 21-19 while Memphis sits at 27-14. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Los Angeles has allowed their opponents an average of 8.5 steals per game, the fourth most in the league. To make matters even worse for Los Angeles, Memphis enters the contest with 10.17 steals per game on average, which is the best in the league. In other words, Los Angeles will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
