With the series lead up for grabs, the Lakers and Grizzlies will square off tonight at crypto.com Arena. Ja Morant's status is still up in the air, can the Grizzlies win another game without their best player? Tip-off is live from 10 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 the rest of Saturday's action.
Let's dive into my SGP bet now.
Dennis Schroder to Score 10+ Points (+270)
It hasn't been the best of starts to the postseason for Schroder, and I'm sure he would be the first to admit that. For a player of his caliber just 7 points through 2 games is unacceptable, we all know he is way better than that. With the series now moving back to crypto.com Arena for the next 2 games, I'm expecting him to pick up the slack. This guy averaged double-digit points in December, January, February and March, so the current mini slump he is in is nothing to worry about. Prior to this series starting he was on a run of at least 10 points scored in 15 of 16 games against the Grizzlies. Role players tend to play a lot better at home than on the road, and these odds are just way too big for me to pass up.
