The surging Grizzlies face a tough challenge at home against LeBron’s Lakers

Don’t look now but the Memphis Grizzlies have won eight of their last 12 games, and head into Thursday night looking downon their opponent the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference standings

Maybe the most impressive part is how much of that run has been without star Ja Morant in the lineup, but it will not be an easy mission against LeBron and the Lakers. For starters, the Grizz are on a back-to-back after a loss to the Mavs last night, and the Lakers laid a beating on the Celtics behind 30 points from LeBron on Tuesday.

We’ll hang with the King to take back the court in this one, take the Lakers to cover the -3.5 road favourite spread, along with the under of 222.5 points.
