Randy’s Pick

The Memphis Grizzlies are still banged up and can't string any success together, so they're not a side I'm thrilled to back on the road or at all, to be honest. The Los Angeles Lakers have had their issues as well, but they've been at their best at home, where they're 4-0 SU. The Lakers have won 5 of the last 7 meetings against the Grizzlies. Until the Grizzlies get healthy and their star back in Ja Morant, this team continues to be lackluster at best in the betting market.
