Today’s Game of the Day
- Memphis Grizzlies at Los Angeles Lakers – 9:30 PM, NBA League Pass
Both the Lakers and Grizzlies have dealt with ups and downs this season. But with both teams relatively healthy, there’s more than enough star power to make this game exciting.
Ja Morant is tough to predict. He had 16 points and 11 assists in his previous game against the Lakers and hung 40 points in the game before that. But we all know the roller coaster experience that Ja can bring from night to night.
As for the Lakers, LeBron James and Luka Doncic are looking to gain momentum. LA has lost four of its last six games. Doncic had 34 points in their latest win over the Grizzlies. James contributed 31 points.
