Lakers News: Odds And Lines For What Could Be A Series-Clinching Game 5
Tonight, your Los Angeles Lakers head to Memphis in an effort to finish what has been a surprisingly dominant series against the higher-seeded Grizzlies thus far.
Here are some interesting betting odds and lines for this evening's festivities, via The Action Network.
The Game's Spread
Given that the action is shifting to Memphis and the Grizzlies have kept most of these games fairly competitive, it makes sense that oddsmakers believe Memphis will win. The projected over/under is set at four points in the Grizzlies' favor. Every matchup in this series has been won by two possessions or more, as the victors generally seem able to pull away from the losers late with clutch three-point or foul shooting. I'll predict that trend will continue and Memphis will cover.
Anthony Davis' Total Points
Davis' estimated over/under line is set at 22.5. The 6'10" center has scored less than that line in three of the Lakers' four games. He's had an uneven run through the 3-1 matchup thus far, twice scoring 13 or fewer points on 30.8% or less shooting. Take the under -- as a Lakers fan, you'll be happy for AD to best the line, but as a pragmatist, you'll be happy when he doesn't.
LeBron James' Total Blocks
The 6'9" All-Star is averaging 1.8 blocks a night in its ongoing series against the Grizz, and is pegged to reject less than that, 1.5 blocks to be precise, tonight. Look for King James to continue his solid first-half defense and collect some early swats.
