Lakers vs Grizzlies prediction

The Grizzlies continue to play hard despite the roster limitations, and this game should be no different. The Grizzlies also beat the Lakers back in January as four point underdogs. With that said, the Lakers have quietly won four straight games and have a chance to move up in the standings for a better playoff outlook. And while the Lakers played last night, they'll have a fresh LeBron after he sat out against the Bucks. LeBron is probable for this game. I need more points to truly consider the Grizzlies here. This line is more than reasonable. Give me the Lakers as they snag a fifth straight win.
