Memphis is coming here riding on a high with the good play and the way the Grizzlies have won their games. The Lakers for their part have struggled on the year and recently have not really looked that impressive at all. Look for the Lakers to continue to have some struggles in this game and even with the talent level the Lakers have the Lakers are not going to be able to stop the Grizzlies who bring home the win in this game and secure the win, but also look for this game to have a lot of offensive potential in this game and the total will go on the over.
