Winners and Whiners: Take the Lakers to cover in Game 6 vs. Grizzlies

Dave Kovaleski writes: "The Grizzlies had the second best record in the West while the Lakers needed a late run to even make the play-in tournament. Yet, it seems like most people are favoring the Lakers. Maybe they are right as the Lakers are up 3-2 and have a chance to close it out at home. I think, ultimately, they get it done here. I just cannot see James letting this series go back to Memphis with an opportunity to end it in LA. Also, the Grizzlies are 0-4 against the spread in the last 4 meetings in Los Angeles and 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 meetings with the Lakers overall. Take the Lakers here giving up the points."

FanDuel: Lakers 117, Grizzlies 112

Devon Platana writes: "The Grizzlies' Game 4 effort was commendable, but it's clear that the bright lights of Los Angeles are too much to handle. Being 23-12 straight up as the favorite this season, look for the Lakers to finally close things out."

Top Bet: Grizzlies 117, Lakers 114

It writes: "The Grizzlies did not allow Los Angeles to finish the series in five games, as Memphis dealt LA a 116-99 loss at home last Wednesday to force a Game 6. Ja Morant and Desmond Bane combined for 64 points to lead the way for the Grizzlies, while Jaren Jackson provided 18 points and 10 rebounds to go with two blocks. Although they shot just 44.4 percent from the field in Game 5, the Grizzlies finally tasted a win again. It could only get better for them from here."
