- What: NBA Regular Season Game
- When: March 29, 2025
- Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Memphis Grizzlies
- Time: 5:00 p.m. PST
- Where: FedEx Forum (Memphis, TN)
The Memphis Grizzlies (44-29) will host the Los Angeles Lakers (44-29) at FedExForum this Saturday. The game will start at 8 p.m. ET.
The Lakers currently hold a 2-1 advantage in their season series against the Grizzlies.
Recently, Memphis decided to part ways with coach Taylor Jenkins on Friday after suffering a 125-104 defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder, failing to cover the spread as 10.5-point underdogs.
Jaren Jackson Jr. led the team with 27 points in that game. The Grizzlies have struggled lately, going 1-4 both straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in their last five outings, bringing their season total to 38-34-1 ATS.
The Lakers lost to the Chicago Bulls 119-117 on Thursday. Austin Reaves led the team with a strong performance, scoring 30 points on 10-of-17 shooting.
However, Los Angeles has struggled lately, posting a 1-4 record both straight up and against the spread in their last five games, bringing their season total to 40-32-1 ATS.
Meanwhile, the Grizzlies may be without their key playmaker, Ja Morant and have recently faced challenges.
Breaking free from their recent struggles might be tough with an interim coach at the helm. Memphis has gone 6-9 in their last 15 matchups, with a 3-5 record at home.
On the other hand, the Lakers have balanced their performance with a 4-4 record over their last eight games, including victories against the Denver Nuggets and Indiana Pacers.
They’ve scored over 115 points in five of their last seven games, and if they can tighten their defense against a team likely missing its second-leading scorer, they stand a good chance of winning.
