NBA Pick of the Day - Los Angeles Lakers (1-5) at Memphis Grizzlies (6-1)
Thanks to a 65-point second half Sunday night, the Lakers found a way to get their first win of the season, defeating the Hornets 107-92. They’ll look to extend that streak to two games Tuesday night in Memphis against a Grizzlies team that started the season with six straight victories.
AccuScore has the Grizzlies as overwhelming 87 percent favorites to win. Memphis has a 60.4 percent chance of covering a 10-point spread. The average score after 10,000-plus simulations is 106-91. There is a 49.4 percent chance the total combined score stays UNDER 197 and a 49.2 percent chance it goes OVER. AccuScore simulationss suggest staying away from the total. In terms of close (four points or fewer) and big (10 points or more) win potential, the probabilities are not even close. Memphis has nearly twice the chance of Los Angeles at a close win, and about 15 times the chance of L.A. at a big win.
AccuScore Box Score: The Grizzlies average just two more shot attempts per game, but 6-7 more field goals made. Memphis shooting over 48 percent from the field identifies one culprit: the Lakers’ defense.
Projected Leaders Kobe Bryant: 22 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 4 TOs Carlos Boozer: 12 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal
Marc Gasol: 18 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal Mike Conley: 17 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 TOs
