Memphis Grizzlies vs. Los Angeles Lakers vs. Game 6 Prediction
It has been entertaining both off and on the court, and tonight the Lakers will have the opportunity to lock things up and advance to the second round. Los Angeles took care of business in Games 3 and 4 on their home floor, and they understand how crucial it is to close out the Grizzlies tonight and not allow them to fly back home to Memphis for Game 7.
If it does get to game seven, the advantage will be with Memphis, who was the best home team in the NBA this season. The Grizzlies showed us all that in Game 5 with their backs against the wall as the team delivered a dominant performance led by shooting guard Desmond Bane. Bane was the high scorer in the game ending with 33 points and hitting multiple clutch shots when the Grizzlies needed it most.
Los Angeles, meanwhile, was led by a strong effort from superstar Anthony Davis who finished the game with a team-high 31 points. Outside of Davis, most of the Lakers really struggled, including LeBron James, who ended the game with just 15 points.
I will trust the home team tonight and put my money on the Lakers to close out this series against Dillion Brooks and the Grizzlies. We have a future bet on the Lakers to win the series, and I love our chances of doubling up our profit tonight.
Los Angeles has really impressed me with their performance at home this series, and coming off a poor performance, I fully expect a breakout game from LeBron James. Both teams will come out with a lot of energy, but I think the crowd here will play a large role and feel as if the home-court advantage could be the difference in this game. Let’s stay red hot and cash in tonight!
