Memphis at Los Angeles

Premium Pick

Both teams have hit a rough spot in the season, although Los Angeles did manage a 112-104 win over New Orleans on Friday after losing three of its previous four games. However, the Lakers are 0-4-1 ATS their last five games following a win and they are just 3-5-1 ATS their last nine games overall. LeBron James had a triple-double against the Pelicans with 22 points, 14 assists, and 12 rebounds. Memphis will attempt to snap a five-game losing streak, and surprisingly this is not a big point spread due to the fact the Grizzlies tend to have relatively lower scoring games. The Lakers are 2-6 ATS their last eight Sunday games and 2-8-1 ATS their last 11 games following an ATS win. The underdog has covered five of the last seven meetings. Take the points with the Grizzlies.
