The Lakers will play their third game in four nights, having played at San Antonio last night. In fact, the Lakers are coming from two run and gun games against the Spurs, where Lebron played 40 and 37 minutes, Kuzma 39 and 39 minutes, and Lonzo 40 and 38 minutes. The Lakers haven't been using a long rotation on their games and they paid the price of that with the Spurs having a huge fourth quarter yesterday.

The Lakers had Kuzma and Lebron having tremendous edges over San Antonio's lack of size. Thanks to this factor, the LA team crushed the paint with 20-30 FG at the rim and 22 fast break points. However, they won't have this edge against Memphis, as the Grizzlies have size at the wings and on the frontcourt. They also know how to slow down the pace and force their opponents to play halfcourt basketball. 

Memphis is on the same spot as the Lakers with three games in four nights and having played last night at New Orleans. However, their rotation is longer than the Lakers's and their bench was great and they are feeling confident for tonight. Conley had a poor game against the Pelicans with 2-12 FG and 9 points, but after a poor matchup against Holiday and Davis on the pick n roll, Conley will have a much better matchup tonight for a big game. I believe Memphis will win this game with some comfort and so, I'll be taking them in here.
