The Grizzlies are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest. The over is 5-2 in Grizzlies last 7 road games. The over is 9-1 in Lakers last 10 overall. The Grizzlies are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Los Angeles.

The status of Ja Morant is obviously a big part of where this line will end up Saturday afternoon. I'm still siding with the Lakers regardless. The Grizzlies have had issues on the road all season long, and the Lakers do play their best ball at home while winning as favorites by an average of 5.4 points. The Lakers home crowd this time of year is also underrated. I'll lay the reasonable chalk with the Lakers at home, where their role players should step up.
