Playoff implications are on the line tonight in Memphis as the LA Lakers come to town. LA won the first meeting as tempers flared, so tonight's game should be a spicy one as well. Tip-off is at 8 pm ET on TNT, I've prepared a Same Game Parlay which you can see below.

Let's dive into my SGP bet now!
Memphis Grizzlies ML (-355)
The Lakers might be catching steam lately, their 27-point comeback against the Mavs over the weekend was impressive, but they're playing the Memphis Grizzlies who have lost just 5 of 30 home games this season. Add to that the fact that LeBron James will miss this game, the Lakers' chances of winning aren't big. LA did win the first meeting of the season at home 122-121 in the what is now known the “Shannon Sharpe game”. The Grizzlies have struggled a bit since, but they just celebrated a strong home win over the best team in the West holding them to just 94 points. Morant and co. are only missing Steven Adams here, while the Lakers will most likely be without LeBron and D'Angelo Russell. Without two of their starters, I think the Lakers fall on the road in this one.
