The No. 2 seeded Memphis Grizzlies avoided elimination in Game 5 and travel back to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers in hopes of forcing a winner-take-all Game 7 in Memphis. Unfortunately the Grizzlies have lost each of their last 23 games as road underdogs, so they will have their work cut out for them as 4.5-point road underdogs Friday.
The Lakers won both home games against the Grizzlies in this series and are one win away from advancing to the Western Conference semifinals. Not only have the Grizzlies struggled to win as road underdogs, but they has also failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games following a win. A lot of trends pointing in the Lakers favor.
With the Grizzlies’ 16-27 road record during this season, it shouldn’t be surprising that 88% of the money is on the Lakers to close out this series tonight. The under 219 points is also drawing 93% of the money as both teams are averaging less than 110 points per game during the first five games. Seventeen of the Grizzlies’ last 21 road games against Western Conference opponents have gone under the total.
