It's the game of the season for the Memphis Grizzlies who are trying to stay alive in their series against the LA Lakers. They were able to avoid elimination on Wednesday, what happens tonight? Tip-off is live from 10.30 pm on ESPN, I've prepared a Same Game Parlay which is available below.
Head over to our NBA Predictions page for picks on the side and total for Game 6 of Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors.
Let's dive into my SGP bet now.
Memphis Grizzlies ML (+160)
You won't find many numbers favoring a Grizzlies win here. They've gone just 2-4 ATS/SU in the last 6 meetings with the Lakers and have just 1 win in their last 9 visits to Crypto.com Arena. So why back them to win you ask? Well, aside from that poor 1st quarter in Game 3, they've been very competitive in the 2 games at crypto.com Arena in this series. Ja Morant also appears to be over his hand injury, and the Grizz are also getting solid contributions from Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane. LA has the individual experience of AD and LeBron to rely on, but I'd give a slight edge to Memphis in overall experience as they've had this core for a long time, while the Lakers have built their team just 2 months ago at the trade deadline. I'm also thinking the NBA needs a Game 7 this weekend, so either this or the Kings vs Warriors Game 6 will end in an upset. Let's hope the Grizzlies can deliver an upset tonight and extend this series.
